August 13, 2016 By Megan Rachel

Divorce is a stressful ordeal for couples, and the presence of children in the marriage makes it even more difficult. An important decision that has to be made with regards to kids in the event of a divorce, is with which parent the kids will stay for the maximum time. Parents who cannot reach an agreement regarding this issue have to resort to child custody lawyers and settle the matter in court.

There are several factors which come into play while determining which parent’s home will be best for the child. The matter is further complicated by the fact that there are different kinds of custody in law including physical custody, legal custody, joint custody and split custody.

Finding A Child Custody Attorney

November 25, 2015 By Megan Rachel

Divorces can be very difficult for the whole family. Not only is it emotionally and financially taxing for the adults, but it is also tough on their children, who don’t want to see their parents split up. If you’re going through a divorce and are considering seeking custody of your children, you may need to consult with a Frisco child custody attorney to get some legal advice.

Firstly, before you see an attorney, take some time to think about exactly what it is that you want. For parents that are splitting, there are many ways to organize custody of the children, such as shared custody or full custody for one parent. In some cases the arrangement will depend on the circumstances of the divorce. For instance, if you are divorcing your spouse because of drugs or abuse issues, you may feel that taking sole custody is the best arrangement. However, you also need to think about what your children may want, since it affects them too. Just because you are divorcing their parent, doesn’t mean they want to as well.

Your Frisco child custody attorney should help you navigate the custody procedures so that your family can reach the best possible arrangement for all involved. He or she will help you to complete the necessary legal paperwork that must be filed with the court in order to make your custody wishes known. It is important that the custody arrangements are legally permissible under the divorce regulations of the state. You attorney should be well-versed in these procedures, and provide important advice to you when you need it.

If you’re unsure which attorney to use, start by speaking with friends or family members who have recently been through a divorce with kids. They may be able to recommend an attorney who is competent and knowledgeable that was able to help them. However, don’t choose an attorney solely on someone else’s recommendation. Create a list of two or three attorneys and meet with each of them yourself. Remember, this is someone whom you will be dealing with on very personal issues to you, so don’t choose someone that you aren’t totally comfortable with.
