What should I expect during the legal process?
Understanding what to expect can help ease your concerns. The legal process generally involves several key phases:
- Initial consultation: We discuss your case, goals and how we might approach your situation.
- Filing of documents: We prepare and file the necessary legal documents with the court.
- Negotiation and mediation: Often, cases involve negotiations or mediation attempts to reach a settlement.
- Court proceedings: We represent you in court hearings and trials if necessary.
We keep you informed and involved throughout each phase, ensuring you know what’s happening and why.
How are child custody and support determined?
Decisions about child custody and support are significant, and the court considers several factors to ensure the child’s best interests:
- Parental responsibilities: Who has been the primary caregiver?
- Parental fitness: Are there concerns about either parent’s ability to care for the child?
- Child’s wishes: Children’s preferences may be considered depending on their age.
- Stability and continuity: The court often favors a stable living environment that minimally disrupts the child’s current lifestyle.
We’ll help you present a strong case that reflects your commitment to your child’s well-being.
