THE IMPORTANCE OF CUSTODY LAWYER
Maryland courts are focused on the best interests of the child, so it is crucial that you turn to an experienced attorney in Carroll County to show that the best interest includes you. The courts will judge a variety of factors when it comes to visitation rights and custody. Some of these factors include the fitness and the character of the parties involved. Your past and current role as a parent and your ability to maintain familial relationships is also a critical factor for any proceeding.
Our custody attorney will ask you a series of questions to establish what you are seeking in terms of legal and physical custody. Legal custody involves making major life decisions regarding your child, such as healthcare, education, and choice of religion. Physical custody involves a determination of who the children will reside with, and on what schedule. We strive to get you the physical custody schedule that is in the best interests of your children, whether that be primary physical custody with visitation or a shared physical custody situation.
