In most situations, the starting point toward a workable solution is a clear understanding of your rights and responsibilities as a divorcing parent. We take the time to help you understand some basic principles of Arizona law, such as the presumption that every child will benefit from a stable and substantial relationship with both parents, and that conflicts between parents will be resolved according to what's in the best interests of the children affected.
Once you understand the basic legal considerations that apply to your situation, you will be in a good position to define your own immediate and long-term priorities for your parent-child relationship, and you will probably be prepared to respect the other parent's legitimate interests as a mother or father. Temporary and permanent child custody agreements are usually based on each side's willingness to meet the other parent halfway, which our state law encourages.
Straight Answers to Tough Questions in High-Conflict Custody Situations
At the same time, we recognize that an easy solution is not always available when the parents cannot agree about such matters as legal custody, primary physical custody or visitation arrangements. When there's a history of family violence, chemical abuse or other serious problems, a parent might reasonably seek to restrict the other parent's access to the children until a treatment or counseling program starts to show positive results.
Chandler child custody lawyer Janice Palmer handles either side of these difficult or highly contentious parenting disputes in divorce and paternity cases, and she can serve as a valuable resource for parents for whom the right referral can make a significant positive difference. When parents get the help they need, they not only take a big step toward strengthening their relationships with their children, they also improve the impression they make on family court judges.
