Montgomery, Alabama, Child Custody Attorney
Who will have custody of the children? How often will the children see their other parent? These are some of the looming questions in a divorce with children. Unfortunately, because children are so important, they can become pawns in some very emotional divorce disputes. Even when children are not part of a battle, deciding child custody and visitation is a major step that will help set the course of their future.
When so much is at stake, you need a family law attorney you can trust. At Lucci Law Firm, we are committed to handling divorce and child custody matters with compassion and efficiency. Contact us to speak to an Alabama child custody lawyer with more than 10 years of legal experience.
Working Efficiently Towards an Effective Child Custody Arrangement
While child custody decisions are the most important decisions you will make during your divorce, they are also the most costly to your child. Our law firm works hard to find creative solutions to your child custody issues as quickly as possible. We offer alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services, such as mediation, collaborative divorce and arbitration, to help you and your spouse come to an agreement. When you cannot agree out of court, we have years of courtroom experience that will help us defend your interests — and the best interests of your child — in family court.
What Are the Options for Child Custody?
When spouses choose to resolve your dispute out-of-court, they control the custody arrangements. Spouses who choose the court process pass a large amount of that control to the judge. Whatever forum you choose, there are various types of custody to consider:
- Legal custody: Who should make the major decisions (education, health care, etc.) that affect your child?
- Physical custody: Where should the child live?
- Visitation/parenting time: If the child lives with one parent, when can the other parent see the child?
Parents who share legal and/or physical custody have, in legal terms, "joint custody." Courts usually prefer joint custody arrangements. However, they look at many factors to determine what is in your child's best interests.
