Passaic County Parenting Time Lawyers
For many people, the single most difficult issue in divorce involves the allocation of parenting time. When parents decide to divorce, it is likely both parents will be unable to spend as much time with their children as they would like. You want an outcome that is in the best interests of your children. The Morristown, New Jersey, visitation attorneys of Maynard & Sumner, LLC, can help you develop a plan that helps you maintain strong relations with your children.
Helping Establish a Fair, Workable Parenting Time Arrangement
There are a number of terms under New Jersey law that apply to child custody determinations. For example, legal custody describes a parent's right to make decisions about a child's education, health and general welfare. Physical custody describes where the child lives. Often, both parents will share joint legal custody while one parent will have primary physical custody. The other parent will have visitation. Generally speaking, it is in the child's best interests for both parents to maintain an active role in the child's life. Therefore, even if the other parent will have primary physical custody, it is important that you have sufficient quality parenting time — that your children deserve.
Our law firm understands the often emotional nature of these matters. We will provide candid, thoughtful advice in the earliest stages of your case so you have an idea of what to expect. Once we have an understanding of your goals, and you have an understanding of what to expect in the legal process, we will spare no effort to helping you move forward.
