FAQ

1How can a lawyer help in my child custody case?
A child custody and visitation attorney provides the legal guidance you need to make the right decisions, protects your parental rights, prepares documentation, and advocates for custody arrangements that support your child’s well-being.
2Is legal custody and physical custody the same?
No. Legal custody refers to decision-making authority, while physical custody deals with determining where the child physically lives and how much time is shared between both parents.
3Can you help me modify custody arrangements after a court order?
Yes. Custody agreements can be modified if there is a significant change in your circumstances affecting the child’s well-being or your ability to care for the child. Our child custody lawyers can modify previous agreements to align with your current situation.
4What can happen if the other parent violates a custody order?
You can seek enforcement through the court. We can help you acquire legal support to ensure the other parent complies with current custody agreements and protect your parental rights, as well as the well-being of the child.
5Do I have to go to court for a custody case?
Not always. Many custody matters can be resolved out of court through negotiation or mediation (which is less stressful and more cost-effective). However, if the parents can't reach an agreement, the court will intervene and make final custody decisions.
