We understand that seeking legal representation can raise various questions. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions we get.
What is the difference between legal and physical custody?
Legal custody refers to the authority to make major decisions about a child’s life, such as education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. Physical custody determines where the child lives and who is responsible for their day-to-day care. Both can be shared (joint custody) or awarded to one parent (sole custody), depending on what the court deems to be in the child’s best interests.
How is child support calculated?
Child support is calculated based on state-specific guidelines that consider factors such as each parent’s income, the number of children, custody arrangements, and the child’s specific needs. Courts may also factor in healthcare costs, childcare expenses, and educational needs when determining the payment amount.
Can grandparents request visitation rights?
Yes, in many states, grandparents can petition for visitation rights. The court will evaluate the nature of the relationship, the child’s best interests, and whether visitation will provide emotional and psychological benefits to the child. However, parental rights typically take precedence.
What is the process for modifying a custody or support order?
To modify a custody or support order, you must file a petition with the court that issued the original order. You’ll need to demonstrate a significant change in circumstances, such as a job loss, relocation, or changes in the child’s needs, to justify the modification.
How does the court decide property division in a divorce?
Distribution laws. Community property states divide marital assets equally, while equitable distribution states divide assets fairly but not necessarily equally, based on factors like each spouse’s contributions, earning potential, and financial needs.
