Experienced Illinois Custody and Visitation Lawyer
We focus on family and matrimonial law, and take special care when children are involved. While emotions run high, it is imperative to keep the personal dispute between spouses from pulling the whole family apart. To that end, our custody and child support lawyers work toward a parenting time agreement that will be fair to both spouses while remaining in the best interests of the children.
Protecting Your Children's Best Interests
Generally, the parent who primarily takes care of the child will be the residential parent with physical custody. Unless there is an issue of serious endangerment to the child such as domestic violence, sexual abuse or drug and alcohol addiction, our Northfield, Illinois, child custody lawyers discourage clients from engaging in joint custody battles.
We do encourage clients to assert their parenting time rights to make sure their children have substantial and meaningful contact with both parents. Whenever advisable, the attorneys at the Law Offices of Sandra M. Rosenbloom will suggest appropriate child specialists to consult to help parents determine age-appropriate parenting schedules as well as to help them both understand the concerns that many children face from changes to the family structure during and after a divorce. Child specialists often help facilitate parent discussions about this difficult subject as well as help parents to better co-parent once their divorce is final.
If a custodial parent wishes to relocate some time after the divorce has been finalized and both parents are willing to consider this, we can help renegotiate the parenting time agreement to ensure that both parents remain a significant part of the child's life. In the event there is no agreement on relocation (sometimes also referred to as "removal"), we will work vigorously with you to determine how to best handle this situation, whether we represent the parent seeking removal or the parent opposing it.
