Experienced Child Custody Lawyers in Chicago
One of the major concerns of divorce for couples with children is the custody rights and visitation details. There are a lot of questions about who would be given the custody, on what basis do the courts decide, what are the special conditions, etc. The Womenu2019s Divorce & Family Law Group will assist the mothers to understand all the minute details and the sensitivities of the law regarding the child custody rights. With changes in the divorce law, there have been changes to the terminology and the meanings attached to the terms of child custody and visitation. These are now called as the allocation of parental responsibilities and parenting time. The changes that have been done is that they gave a new definition to child custody. The courts may decide that both the parents will share the responsibilities of decision making. Though one parent may get to make certain major decisions, the other parent too will be responsible for minor decisions regarding the welfare of the child. The parenting time is decided by chalking out a parenting plan. It is signed by the court and allocates the parents involved their responsibilities. Additional factors such as the financial status of a parent, the living environment, special needs of a child (if any) are taken into due consideration before making a decision.
