Protecting The Rights Of Parents In Oklahoma City

If you’re seeking a divorce and are concerned about your child custody agreement, you may need help for a fair case. Talk about your case with an lawyer who can help you determine the best options for your case.

Seeking a divorce from someone you have lived with for years can be difficult, even if you’ve grown apart. Worse, you’re also facing questions and concerns for your children. They’re part of the family, and they’re dependent on you and your spouse. That means they’ll be a large part of the divorce considerations.

At Talley, Turner, Stice & Bertman, we know that ensuring your kids have a happy, healthy home is important to you. That’s why you need a child custody lawyer on your side during a divorce. Knowing your children are happy and healthy is important, so reach out for the answers you need.

Types Of Child Custody

When determining child custody, it’s important to talk to your attorney about the type of custody agreement that’s best for you and your family. The details will help you and your lawyer understand what you’re looking for and what best meets your children’s needs.

For example, if you and your spouse are on good terms, or if you both want to continue raising the children, joint custody may be best. This option means that you’ll decide a schedule for child care, where one parent will have custody for part of the time and then the other will take over.

However, you might instead be concerned about your children. If you believe your spouse might put your children in danger or neglect them, you might seek sole custody. This means that you’ll be the only parent with physical custody of the children at any time.

Your Child’s Best Interests Matter

If you’re seeking sole custody, your child custody lawyer may discuss how important your child’s best interests are with you. Often, this helps determine where the child is placed and what rights each parent has to the children.

Typically, you and your lawyer might look for evidence that you’re the best fit for sole custody. For example, you might have a better-paying job, or you may live closer to their school. In other cases, you might try to prove the other parent is unfit, especially if there’s evidence or history of abuse in the household.

Once the child’s best interests have been considered, the judge will make a decision on your custody agreement.
