Family Law Attorneys Fighting For Legal & Physical Custody Of Your Children


Child custody can be divided into two components: legal custody and physical custody. Both are typically addressed at the same time.


Legal custody involves decision-making power. Which parent is going to make decisions about the child's education, religion, health care and more? In many cases, the outcome is joint legal custody, which means parents share decision-making power.


Physical custody refers to the time that the children spend with their parents. In many cases, the child or children spend time with their parents in a manner that is typically referred to as "joint custody." This means that each parent is entitled to spend significant periods of time with the children, although that time may not necessarily be equal to that of the other parent.


Other times, the best interests of the children may require that different arrangements are made to best protect the children's emotional health and physical safety. We understand that every case is different, and we strive to achieve a result that best fits your unique circumstances.
