Understanding Child Custody And Visitation

Law Office Of Jeffrey W. Johnson | Child Custody And Visitation

Parents often struggle to agree on custody or visitation arrangements. This very often leads to disputes that require legal intervention. Common factors that weigh into these disputes include:

Parental Fitness

Each parent is evaluated by the court to determine their ability to provide a stable and nurturing environment for their child.

Your Child’s Preferences

If the child caught in the dispute is of age and maturity, they can express their wishes, which can be considered in the final judgment.

Stability

Preserving the child’s best interests is central to the court’s objective in overseeing these disputes, and reducing the number of disruptions the child experiences to their daily life, namely school and their general ties to the community, is key.

It’s wise, if at all possible, to work with your child’s other parent to create a plan that benefits your child. Doing so means you can avoid all of that headache. Mediation is one such approach. It’s far more cost-effective and has the added benefit of fostering communication and cooperation between you and your child’s other parent. On top of this, you may be able to enjoy much more control over the outcome, creating an arrangement that suits your and your child’s other parent’s wants and needs more.

Jeffrey Johnson time serving as his many clients’ child custody modification lawyer has given him foresight that is especially relevant to these sorts of situations and can prove invaluable to you should you pursue mediation.
