Common legal issues involving child custody

Deciding how much time children will spend with each parent after they divorce can be very challenging, even when the couple agrees on most matters. That's why it's important work with an attorney to develop a parenting plan to suits your needs, as well as the needs of your child.

Common issues involving child custody that often come up during or after divorce proceedings include:

• Working out a fair and equitable parenting time schedule.
• Creating a schedule that realistically fits your needs.
• Coordinating parenting time schedules with your ex-spouse.
• What to do if you or your spouse moves out of state.
• Reacting to concerns about your child's safety.
  (If you believe your child is in danger, call 9-1-1 immediately.)
• Violation of existing parenting plan.
  (For instance, your ex-spouse is preventing you from seeing your child.)
