Getting A Child Custody And Parenting Time Arrangement In Maryland
When you begin fighting for a fair custody agreement, there are two types of custody you are working for:
- Legal custody: Grants the people who have it the authority to make major decisions on a child’s behalf, such as medical or decisions related to education.
- Physical custody: Determines who is responsible for the daily care of a child.
Even if you and your spouse are pursuing a collaborative divorce, you still should have a parenting time attorney by your side to help you protect your needs.
What Do Courts Look For When Making Child Custody Orders?
The courts often grant custody based on the child’s best interests. Our job is to present the facts and details of your unique situation to convince a judge that you are in the best interest of your family. We present information like:
- Adjustments a child may need to make with a new custody arrangement
- The child’s preferences
- The ability of each parent to provide for the child
- Medical situations that may be relevant to parenting abilities
- The living arrangement of each parent
Our family law team takes the time to sit with our clients to understand their unique needs before we create a strategy that we custom-tailor to fit them. Each client comes to us with unique needs, and we ensure we are representing them.
