Are you considering a divorce and have children? Read these 4 ways to get ahead on your custody case, then call our Rochester lawyer today.
1. Shared Residency
Shared residency is the ability for both parents to spend the same amount of time with their children.- Based on the differences in finances for each parent, a child support obligation may be necessary.
2. Joint Child Custody Vs. Sole Child Custody
- If you have joint custody, you and your child’s other parent will be required to make decisions about your child together, cooperatively.
- If you have sole custody of your child, you alone will be required to make decisions about your child.
- You can have a shared residency plan and still have one parent be sole custodian.
3. The Role of a Law Guardian
- A law guardian for a child is also called an Attorney for the Children.
- An AFC acts like a normal lawyer; they gather information from talking to the child and represent them in court.
4. Substance Abuse Problems
- If your spouse has a substance abuse problem, the state is very concerned over the safety of that child.
- Your spouse may be required to have supervised visitation while they are sick.
