What You Need to Know About Child Custody

If you are going through a divorce then you may know that one of the biggest issues that must be resolved is that of child custody. When two parents will no longer be living together, the parenting time schedule and decision making plan regarding their children will need to be determined. Your spouse and you can choose to come to an arrangement on your own, or if you cannot agree on the terms, the Court will step in to make the decisions. Depending on your circumstances you may need to consider if sole custody or joint custody is appropriate.

The Courts usually will favor having both parents involved with the children even if they are given different amounts of parenting time and parental rights. The best interests of the child is what guides the Court, and Courts try to allow the child to spend time with both parents as long as they believe that it will not be detrimental to their well-being.

Modification of Child Custody

In many situations, the circumstances that existed at the time of the divorce change and evolve over time. The Court may have ruled for custody to be determined in a certain manner but over time one or both of the parents may believe that the original Order is no longer best suited for their situation. This may be based on one party's belief that the other party is unstable and not able to take care of the child as they should. In these situations, or other related ones, a Motion can be filed with the Court to request a modification of the original terms of the divorce Judgment. If the Court finds that a significant change has occurred, an adjustment can be made.
