Understanding Child Custody

Child custody involves decisions about who will be responsible for the care and upbringing of children following a divorce or separation. It encompasses both physical custody, determining where the children will live, and legal custody, deciding who will make critical life decisions for them. At Hartin Family Law, we strive to handle these matters with a blend of professional expertise and personal understanding, making the legal process as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

The Best Interest of the Child: Guiding Every Decision

The cornerstone of any child custody decision is the "best interest of the child." This principle ensures that all decisions regarding custody and visitation will support the overall health, welfare, and happiness of the child. At Hartin Family Law, we focus on several key factors to advocate for outcomes that serve the best interest of the children involved:

• Health and Safety: Ensuring the child's physical safety and emotional well-being are paramount.
• Emotional Ties: We consider the strength of the child’s relationships with parents, siblings, and other significant individuals.
• Educational and Social Stability: We aim to minimize disruption to the child’s education and social life, maintaining continuity and stability.
• Parental Involvement: Evaluating each parent's ability to provide care, love, and guidance.
• Child's Wishes: Taking into account the preferences of older children, when appropriate, to ensure their voices are heard.
