Child Custody Options in Chester County, PA
Your child custody case can be resolved in several different ways. Our Chester County child custody attorneys can work with you to ensure you understand all options available to you and your family.
- Physical Custody: Who your children spend the majority of their time with is considered the custodial parent. Custody can be shared equally, or one parent can be awarded primary custody while the other parent has visitation.
- Legal Custody: Bother parents are typically given legal custody of their children. Legal custody governs issues regarding your children’s educational, religious, and healthcare choices.
Once child custody arrangements are negotiated, our Chester County child custody attorneys can help you develop a parenting plan. Your plan should include everything from your child’s daily schedule to the terms of your custodial agreement. Because every case is different and the circumstance impacting your case is unique to your family, our attorneys will ensure they provide well-researched legal guidance based on a thorough consultation and case review.
Individualized Child Custody Strategies to Meet Your Family's Goals
Custody cases are seldom straightforward. Negotiating custody issues can be emotionally distressing for everyone in your family. When it comes to family court and your child's best interest, you can never be over-prepared. Our attorneys assist clients in ensuring they are ready to face any custody matter that may arise during court or negotiations, such as:
- Grandparents’ Rights: In certain circumstances, a grandparent custodial relationship poses the best outcome for a child. Our attorneys can provide grandparents with child custody guidance and representation.
- Fathers’ Rights: Parental rights are equally shared, and neither parent has more influence over the family court. Many fathers feel mothers’ rights take precedence over fathers’ rights. We provide fathers with legal representation as they fight for their rights.
- Paternity: If you’re a father trying to establish the paternity of your minor child, our attorneys can help. We also provide legal representation for mothers seeking to prove paternity.
- Parental Relocation: Once you and your ex share custody of a minor child, life changes like work relocations become more complicated. We can help you request a modification to your custody order.
- Visitation Enforcement: Your ex cannot deny a legal visitation order, so if you’re being refused access to your child, we can help.
