Considerations For Choosing A Divorce Attorney: Co-Parenting Agreements
When couples decide to get a
divorce, one of the first considerations they must make is whether or not to co-parent
their children after the divorce. Many people, in fact, have a strong opinion
on this issue; some people are very opposed to co-parenting and believe that it
destroys the special bond between a mother and a father. Other people feel
exactly the opposite way, arguing that it's a great opportunity for dads to
reconnect with their children. This article will explore the basic arguments
for and against co-parenting. Hopefully, after reading this brief article, you
will be better informed about this important parenting option.
First of all, co-parenting
doesn't necessarily mean equal parenting time. There are many different custody
orders and each one applies to a specific child. For instance, in a joint
custody case, both parents participate in the decision making regarding their
children. However, if the parents are not able to agree, a judge will make the
decisions. In cases where both parents participate in custody decisions, then
custody will be determined by what is best for the child, according to the most reliable
information available.
A divorce attorney may tell you that co-parenting arrangements are best if you want your
ex-spouse to change his or her behavior with the children, or if you feel that the
lack of communication or trust between you is detrimental to your child's
development. No matter what your reason is for wanting to establish
co-parenting arrangements, you should do your research before approaching a
divorce attorney to help you with this important matter. It is important to
remember that your goal is to have a meaningful and loving relationship with
your children, so it is important to choose an attorney who will work to ensure
that this happens.
The first consideration when
choosing a divorce attorney to help you establish co-parenting arrangements is
how closely the attorney understands the legal issues involved. You need to
make sure that you discuss these issues with your divorce attorney and that he
or she knows about co-parenting as well. It is also essential to find an
attorney who is willing to listen to you and your concerns about co-parenting.
If your divorce attorney does not offer support during these important
discussions, then you may want to choose someone else to represent you. You can
be sure that there will be no beneficial outcome in your divorce attorney does
not make any changes to the co-parenting arrangement once he or she reads all
of your information and understands the laws that are present in your state.
Another consideration is how
close the attorney is with your ex-spouse. You need to feel comfortable that
your divorce attorney has kept up on the latest trends in family law and has
spoken to your ex about your co-parenting arrangements. Of course, you will want
to speak with your divorce attorney about your feelings about co-parenting and
if this is something that you feel strongly about. You also need to make sure
that your co-parenting arrangements are defined correctly in your final divorce
decree and that there are no problems regarding child custody and visitation at
any point during the process. If there are any problems regarding these things
at any point, you may be able to protect yourself by filing a motion to modify.
This motion can be submitted to the court, with the help of your divorce
attorney, if they believe that the original agreement was unfair or made in bad
faith.
In the end, co-parenting
arrangements are a way for you and your ex-spouse to get along. You should
never feel that the divorce has been caused solely by your ex; it should have
been a result of your mutual decisions. By taking the time to consider
co-parenting arrangements before proceeding with the divorce, you will give
yourself the best chance of reaching a satisfactory co-parenting agreement.
Your divorce attorney can be of great help to you in this regard. Remember to
share your feelings about co-parenting with your divorce attorney as well.
