Determining Child Custody in a Divorce
Child custody solutions that work, especially in a divorce, are ones that keep the best interests of the child in mind while being fair to both parents. At Garton & Vogt, P.C., we help our clients shape effective parenting plans. Usually, these parenting plans give parents joint legal custody, meaning that both parents have the power to make major decisions about their child's life. These decisions include choices about medical care, education and religion. Parenting plans usually designate a primary residence where the child can live and go to school. They also usually create a fair parenting time schedule for the other parent.
We know, however, that each family is different. At Garton & Vogt, P.C., we tailor our services to meet each family's individual child custody needs. Although we encourage methods of alternative dispute resolution, we do not hesitate to go to court, making sure the judge understands what the best interests of your child really are.
