One of the most exciting times in a mother’s life is the moment she finds out she is going to be a mom. As women, we immediately become attached to our children, even when they are the size of a sesame seed. You are so in tune with your children, their needs and emotions. One of the most difficult moments a mother can face is trying to figure out the best child custody agreement.

There are various child custody agreements, an equal time sharing parental agreement is fairly common. In the time sharing agreement, a judge may order one parent control over specific aspects of the children’s welfare in extreme circumstances.

Some factors that a judge will consider before deciding about time sharing include:

• Responsibility given to each parent
• Parental adaptability
• Current living situation
• Any prior domestic violence
• Parental health
• Special Needs

 Given emotions and how tension can run high, we highly advise that you and your ex-spouse agree to a parenting plan. The parenting plan is a document that directs how parents will care of the children. It outlines time sharing, responsibilities and decision making for the children.

Divorces are complicated and emotional especially when it comes to child custody, shared parental responsibility, and parenting plans. You need an ally. We have the experience, resources, and skills required to provide you with empathetic and compassionate legal service.
