Child custody and the best interests of the child
Child custody placements are determined in large part by the best interests of the children. Attorneys and family law judges will identify issues such as health factors, education, social needs and distance between the parents' homes. If necessary, a psychologist or other expert third party can help identify the particular needs of a child. Further, this professional can be used to help children adjust to their new living situations. Generally, courts grant sole physical custody to one parent and joint legal custody between parents. Physical custody refers to where the children live; legal custody to decisions that are made regarding education, health care, religion and even extracurricular activities.
Non-divorce child custody issues
Child custody matters can also include disputes between unmarried parents and grandparents seeking custody or visitation rights. M.C. Thomas & Associates, P.C. has the capacity to handle various and complex child custody issues.
