Any
legal situation which involves a child, or children, should always
be handled with extreme care with the best interest of each child in
mind.
Child
Custody and Visitation issues can be extremely complicated.
Therefore, acquiring the services of an experienced Toledo child
custody and visitation attorney (lawyer) is highly recommended
to protect your legal rights, as well as the child or children
involved.
The most desirable means
of a civil resolution in child custody and child
visitation legal issues is to negotiate in mediation
proceedings. Unfortunately, not all child custody &
visitation issues can be resolved through mediation. When an
acceptable and fair resolution cannot be reached, it may then be
necessary to represent your child custody & visitation
rights in the family court system.
There are many issues
with may need to be addressed & resolved in child custody &
visitation cases such as:
Custody and Shared
Parenting:
In recent years, shared parental
responsibility for the care, custody and control of a
child has been
ordered by a given court. Although one parent may be awarded
"primary residential parent", both of the parents retain full
parental rights and responsibilities with respect to their children.
This allows both parents to have equal say in major decisions while
fully discussing issues relating to their children, after each of
the parent's concerns have been expressed.
In certain situations, each parent may
have an equal right to be declared the primary residential custodian of
the minor child. The Court makes a ruling with regard to what it
deems is in the best interests and welfare of the minor child. The
Court will take into account various factors it believes will
directly affect the welfare of the minor child in determining which
parent will be the primary residential parent. One factor the courts
often consider is which parent is more likely to allow contact
between the secondary residential parent and the child. A parent who
is less willing to allow visitation between the child and secondary
residential parent could do more harm for the child's best interests
than good. The Court takes into account other factors too.
Child Support:
every child has the right to be supported by both parents. Parents
cannot usually contract away child support. The courts look to the
best interest of the child standard.
Modifications of
child support, child custody, and visitation: On occasion, the parties may need to modify
child support,
child custody, and visitation. Again, the parties have
certain rights but so do the children that benefit from the
modifications.
Paternity: fathers have rights too. A father of a child, not born in wedlock
may have rights for visitation, custody, and provide
support for his
child.
Child
Visitation Issues:
If there is no
shared parenting or shared child custody following a divorce,
a visitation schedule will be implemented based primarily on the
best interests of the child. Additional criteria include:
Relationship with
the child
Geographical
location of each parent
Health and safety of
the child
Mental and physical
health of all parties
Time spent with
siblings
Criminal record
Patterns of abuse
