HILD CUSTODY
This is a very difficult subject to discuss in writing.
Issues related to children can present
challenges
for you and your lawyer as well. While
your lawyer’s loyalty is to you, your lawyer also has an obligation as
an officer
of the court to keep the best interest of the children in mind.
Legal and Physical Custody
- Physical Custody is the responsibility
of having the children live with you.
Legal custody is the right to make important long-term decisions
affecting
your children’s welfare, which may include the children’s education,
religion,
and non-emergency medical care.
Joint
Custody – There is no
one standard joint custody arrangement. There is a presumption that
appointing
both parents, Joint Managing Conservators, is in the best interest of
the child
unless such an appointment would significantly impair the child's
physical
health or emotional development.
Please make an appointment so we may give you additional information
and answer your questions. We expect you to be apart our legal team. It
is imperative that you are working as hard as your attorney. The more
information you give us, the better we are able to assist you. The more
organized you are the more favorable outcome of your case will be. It
is your responsibility to let us know we can make your divorce or
litigation easier.
