Applying for legal custody of a child: how to protect your parental rights

 

Proper legal custody arrangement is a key step to ensure the stability and safety of your child after a divorce or separation. Consultant's lawyers will help you protect the rights and interests of your family by preparing documents and representing you in court to approve the best legal custody agreement.

 

Legal filing of documents for determining legal guardianship: the main aspects

 

Proper filing of an application with the court is crucial for establishing legal guardianship. Our lawyers help clients:

  • Prepare the necessary package of documents confirming the father's or mother's ability to take care of the child.
  • Properly prepare and file a petition for legal custody.
  • Ensure compliance with state law to avoid denial or delay of the process.

We take into account all the nuances of your situation to increase your chances of getting a decision in your favor.

 

What Factors Influence the Determination of Legal Custody of a Child

 

The court is guided by the principle of the best interests of the child when determining legal custody. The main factors that may affect the court's decision include:

  • Place of residence and stability of conditions for the child.
  • The child's emotional ties to each parent.
  • The psychological and physical condition of the parents.
  • The willingness of each parent to meet the child's needs.
  • History of violence, alcohol or drug abuse (if any).

Our team knows how to properly present these circumstances in court to ensure the best possible outcome for your child.

 

Legal custody hearings: how to prepare

 

The court hearing stage is the most important in the legal custody process. Our lawyers:

  1. Prepare the client for the hearing by simulating questions that may be asked by the judge or the other party.
  2. Develop arguments to protect your rights as a parent.
  3. File the necessary motions and protect your interests at all stages of the hearing.

Court hearings can last from several weeks to several months depending on the complexity of the case.
