Fighting For custody? Get a Divorce Attorney On Your Side

Going through a divorce is hard enough, but you will definitely want to make sure you have a good divorce attorney when there are children involved. Child custody cases can be extremely difficult and stressful, often because of the high level of emotion that is involved, so you need to have a trusted attorney on the case.

Before a child custody case goes to court, your former partner and you should always try to reach an agreement first. In fact, a divorcing couple is required to attend mediation under Florida law, when children are involved. A good divorce attorney will be able to help you through the mediation process. If mediation fails to produce a child custody agreement, a judge will resolve your child custody case, determining the fate of your children.

Knowledgeable divorce attorneys will look at your specific situation and determine if you should argue for sole custody or joint custody. Sole custody means you are the parent that makes the big decisions, such as where your child (or children) will go to school or church. Generally, when one parent is awarded sole custody, the other parent has set visitation times. Joint custody means both parents, together, come to some sort of an agreement about these types of big decisions.
