How Is Child Custody Determined?
Child custody is determined based on the best interests of the child. Factors considered include the child’s age, health, emotional ties to each parent, the parents’ ability to care for the child, and any history of family violence or substance abuse. Courts may award joint or sole custody, depending on the circumstances. We work closely with our clients to present a compelling case that supports their custody goals.
How Long Does It Take to Get a Divorce?
The duration of a divorce process varies depending on the complexity of the case, the level of cooperation between the parties, and the court’s schedule. An uncontested divorce, where both parties agree on all terms, can be resolved relatively quickly, often within a few months. A contested divorce, involving disputes over assets, custody, or support, may take longer, potentially over a year. We strive to expedite the process while ensuring a fair outcome.
What Is Legal Custody?
Legal custody refers to the right and responsibility to make major decisions regarding a child’s welfare, including education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. Legal custody can be joint (shared by both parents) or sole (awarded to one parent). Joint legal custody requires parents to collaborate on important decisions, while sole legal custody grants one parent the authority to make these decisions independently.
