Determining the physical and legal custody of a minor child is one of the most potentially emotional issues a divorcing couple may face. The law office of BROWN & GILL has represented parents in custody and visitation cases since 1995. If the parents cannot agree on the issues of custody and visitation, BROWN & GILL is prepared to aggressively pursue the matter in court.

All divorcing couples with a minor child are required to establish a parenting plan that ensures the child continues to have frequent and continued contact with both parents once the divorce is final. The idea is for both parents to stay involved in the raising of the child and share in the parenting responsibilities. Courts require the parents to develope a parenting plan outlining and detailing the visitation schedule for non-custodial parent.

When determining the physical custody of the child, it is important to consider the parents’ work schedules, school or daycare schedule, distance between the parents’ homes, the proposed visitation schedule, and most importantly the best interests of the child.  The court will generally take the child’s best interests into account as the determining factor in child custody decisions.

Whether you are seeking work out a visitation schedule, or looking to modify an existing time sharing plan, you need competent and experienced legal representation throughout this process.
