How a Custody Lawyer Assists Parenting Matters
Effective Parenting Plans in Suffolk County Divorces
Many parents who are getting divorced do not know what factors the court considers when child custody or parenting time is arranged. At the Law Offices of Gary P. Field, our Suffolk County custody attorneys work with clients throughout Long Island, New York, to make sure parents receive fair time with their children. When facing the emotionally challenging and complex legal issues of child custody, let an experienced custody lawyer in Suffolk County assist you.
Understanding the Factors of Custody Arrangements
Suffolk County custody attorney Gary P. Field has nearly 30 years of experience guiding people through the legal system, and he knows what to expect at every step of the process. Our custody lawyers in Suffolk County help clients understand what the court is looking for, including:
- Who has been the primary caregiver?
- Can the two parties work together in a joint custodial situation?
- Can the two parties operate in a flexible manner?
- Do both parents have the children's best interest at heart?
In some situations, one parent spends more time with their children while the other parent works to support the family. Even if one parent spends long hours at the office, they might still want or deserve time with their children, and have equal input into the important decisions affecting their lives. As experienced Suffolk County custody lawyers, we fight aggressively on behalf of our clients, working for as much parenting time as each parent can responsibly handle based upon their availability.
Working With Our Client's Best Interest in Mind
Our Suffolk County divorce lawyers hope parents always have their children's best interests at heart; however that is not always the case. In some situations, a parent may try to use the children as a means to receive more money or manipulate the other parent. We cannot force either party to act in a certain way, but we will do everything we can to make sure our clients receive a fair custody and parenting time arrangement.
We view the divorce process as a means to help people move forward with their lives.
