Types of Custody
Rise in Co-Parenting
This rise in joint custody arrangements has led to the much-discussed style of parenting called “co-parenting,” in which parents from separate households develop consistent guidelines for raising their children together. Co-parenting has almost become the new norm in family law. An example of this is the well-understood and spelled-out rule in most parenting plans: parents should not argue in front of their children, as it is detrimental to their emotional well-being. Judges consider factors like this —how well each parent relates to the other and to the child — when determining the “best interests of the child.”
Child custody is one of the most important issues in family law. If you have any questions or concerns, it is well worth the time and effort to hire a child custody attorney, particularly one who handles family law. After all, your children are your most important asset and deserve the best from you.
