Partner With a Child Custody Lawyer to Protect Your Relationship With Your Children
Courts take a number of factors into consideration when determining a child custody/visitation plan. It’s the court’s responsibility to decide what is in the child’s best interest, which they can only determine based on the facts presented to them. They will consider the mental and physical health of each parent, each parent’s current living situation and home environment, each parent’s relationship with the child before separating, any evidence of parental drug/alcohol abuse, the child’s own wishes, and many other factors.
A child custody lawyer can bring forth evidence that supports your stance whether you are requesting visitation rights, shared custody, or full custody. Contact Carolyn if you have found yourself in a child custody dispute and need an experienced legal representative to protect your rights.
A Child Support Attorney Can Help You Petition For a Modification
In many cases, the parent who does not have primary custody of the child is required to pay child support. The child support agreement is based on the income of each parent as well as the unique needs of the child and the expenses associated with raising the child. Regardless of which side of this situation you’re on, the agreement will have a lasting impact on your finances as well as your child’s life. When financial circumstances change, such as losing a job, you can petition to modify your child support agreement. A child support attorney can represent you in negotiations for modification.
Whether you are not receiving the financial support your child deserves, or you are required to pay child support and feel you are forced to pay more than you can afford, Carolyn Young will represent your interests in child support negotiations. Call today to get one-on-one attention from an experienced family law and divorce lawyer in the Austin, TX area.
Discuss your situation with a compassionate and experienced attorney.
