Nevada Child Visitation Attorneys
People often have trouble coming to grips with the fact that the law that dictates child custody and visitation arrangements may require a different outcome than what they had hoped for. The law is designed to do what is in the best interest of the child, and more often than not, that means that both parents will be involved in the child's life. Even if one parent played a minimal role raising the child during the marriage, that parent may be granted significant custody or visitation rights.
At the Pecos Law Group, we will educate you about the realities of the law. Then we will find out about the outcome that you hope to achieve. We will put our decades of experience into getting an outcome that matches your vision as closely as possible, whether your case is the result of a divorce or a paternity action.
Potential Child Custody and Visitation Arrangements
Joint physical custody is a common outcome in child custody cases. This means that both parents play a role in the child's upbringing. That role may be equal, meaning that time is split 50/50 between both parents. Depending on the situation, the balance may be tipped in favor of the child spending more time with one parent or the other.
Having primary physical custody can be important in some situations. For example, if relocationis a possibility, the primary physical custodian only needs to show a good faith reason for the move. When there is joint child custody, relocation requires proving the move is in the best interest of the child.
Child custody disputes can become very heated, only to end up proceeding to trial and having a judge make a decision that neither parent is happy with. Time and money are lost in the process. Our experience means our Clark County child custody attorneys can help you circumvent this possibility by letting you know the possible outcomes you are facing and helping you make the decisions that are right for you and your child.
Our attorneys and staff form close bonds with our clients that inspire open discussion so you can come to us, explain your concerns and we can counsel you accordingly. We can help you avoid making mistakes about granting access to children or how you interact with a spouse or another party that can have a detrimental effect on your case.
Financial Aspects of Child Custody and Visitation
There are financial aspects of child custody that need to be considered. Most significantly, there is an impact on child support. The parent who is given the label of primary physical custodian will have the right to collect child support payments. Even in joint physical custody arrangements, a parent may also have the right to receive child support from the other parent. While financial details should never be a sole motivating factor in resolving child custody, it should be taken into consideration. Our Las Vegas lawyers will make certain that you understand all of the implications of the available options.
