EXPERIENCED CHILD CUSTODY AND VISITATION

REPRESENTATION FOR YOUR UNIQUE ISSUES

Before, during and after a divorce, disagreements over access to a child or children come in a wide variety of categories — visitation denials, allegations of parental alienation, nonpayment or late payment of child support, refusal to allow telephone access, and a child’s resistance to visitation with noncustodial parent, just to name a few.

At the Law Office of Daniel Wright in Rockville, we come up with workable legal solutions to these difficult problems. Our clients in Montgomery County, throughout Maryland and in Washington, D.C., appreciate the family law solutions we recommend — and have for more than 35 years.

A Child Custody Law Firm You Can Count On

If you are going through a divorce or legal separation, and children are involved, it may be a smart decision to contact a child custody lawyer for legal advice. Child custody arrangements often include a number of challenges that, if not correctly addressed, could be drawn out for months or even years. Due to the complexities that may arise, the child custody lawyers at the Law Office of Daniel Wright encourage you to call now to discuss your situation and find out what options might be available to you.

Child Custody

In almost all states, the sex of a parent is not biased which means a court decision about the custody of a child cannot be made based upon the parent being a male or female. Rather the court will hear both parents, review various circumstances and factors of the case, and listen to the recommendations of the child custody lawyers present. In general if your ex-spouse has hired a lawyer, you should do the same to ensure you get the outcome you are looking for. If you believe your spouse is making false accusations about you or you are being misrepresented as a parent, we can help you out.

Filing for Child Custody

Although every state’s child custody laws are different, anyone who is under the age of 18 is considered a child and will need a parent or guardian to make important decisions on their behalf. To file for custody in the state, you will need to meet requirements including, but not limited to:

• The child must have lived in the state for a minimum period of time (usually six months)
• The parent should have connection to the state (i.e. residence, education, a job, etc.)

In addition to these minimum requirements, a court will consider the child’s best interests before deciding on child custody. Some factors to aid the court in the decision are:

• The child’s age
• The child’s physical and mental health
• The relationship between the parents and the child
• The role each parent plays, has played, and will play in the upbringing of the child
• The child’s needs
• Both parents willingness and ability to resolve disputes that affect the child
• The preference of the child
• Whether or not there is a history of domestic violence or abuse
• Whether or not a parent has felony convictions
• The financial earning capacity of the parents
