Protecting Your Child Custody & Visitation Rights in Southwestern Ohio
When you visit us, we will explain the difference between physical custody, or actual possession of your minor child, and legal custody, the right to make decisions that influence the child. We describe what partial or shared physical custody is, as well as primary custody, in which one parent maintains custody over the child the majority of custodial time.
We press hard for your right to full or partial access to your children. We seek consensus on the one hand and act to preserve your rights and interests on the other.
We believe strongly in the relevant law that provides for "the best interests of the child." In that spirit, couples are commonly asked to exercise maximum flexibility rather than resistance. Each party should enjoy a fair amount of access to the children. We pursue visitation settlements that are fair for all concerned and that can be mutually agreed upon. Finding common ground in these discussions is often easier during a collaborative divorce.
We look at important child custody components such as the child's age, scheduling compromises that can be made for evening and weekend visits, and prospects for parenting time on special birthday or family occasions. Ideally, we seek for all family members to continue to be a part of each other's lives.
