Whether you’re setting out to establish a child custody and visitation agreement, need to modify an existing arrangement, or are ready to fight for sole custody of your child, I am just a phone call away. My office is based in Anderson, South Carolina, but I work with parents and families throughout Greenville County.
People often assume that sole custody will automatically be awarded to a child’s birth mother — especially if the child is still very young. In reality, though, fathers and life partners can be granted sole custody if the judge perceives that they are better fit to take care of the child or children in question. Truly, there are many factors for a judge to consider:
Of course, this isn’t even a comprehensive list. Every family situation is unique, which can lead to special circumstances. For instance, perhaps you have a special needs child who requires additional caretaking measures. Perhaps you’re a grandparent and feel you should be the child’s rightful guardian. Or perhaps you’re taking rehabilitative measures and want to fight for visitation rights, even if you can’t have sole custody of your child.
As a family law attorney — and, as a family man myself — I have the experience, knowledge, and drive to help you fight for the arrangement that makes sense for you and yours.
Even through the most painful of divorces or separations, most parents are open to the idea of joint custody. After all, if both parents are loving, capable, and desiring of a relationship with their child, why shouldn’t that relationship be encouraged?
Depending on the level of cooperation between you and the other parent, you have two options when the time comes to set up a custody and visitation arrangement:
In either of the above scenarios, you’ll want an experienced family law attorney guiding the process. Not only can a seasoned lawyer ensure that nothing in your arrangement gets overlooked, but he can also step up and fight for more time with your child if necessary.
While I sincerely hope there’s an amicable working relationship between you and the other parent of your child, know that I am here to offer legal support either way. Whether you need an aggressive litigator to fight for you in court or you’re simply looking for legal guidance, consider me your local resource. I’ll fight for your family as if it were my own.
