UNDERSTANDING GUIDANCE AND DEDICATED DEFENSE OF YOUR RIGHTS AS A PARENT
Negotiating a custody and visitation agreement that offers maximum stability for children and ongoing quality time with both parents can be very challenging. Parents who no longer communicate well often disagree intensely about what is best, and there are many misconceptions about the range of options available.
Experienced Panama City child custody attorney Stan Peacock will get to know you and respect your goals involving your children. Important considerations include the need to resolve all of the following before you can finalize your divorce:
Physical custody (also called residential custody) — which determines whether children will live primarily or exclusively with one parent or split their time living with each.
Legal custody — which determines whether both parents or only one will have authority to make decisions about children’s education, religious upbringing, activities and other important matters.
A visitation (also called parenting time) schedule that specifically outlines when and for how long the noncustodial father or mother will have the children.
The amount of monthly child support payments to be paid, based on parents’ incomes, children’s needs and other factors.
