Minor Children

Going through a divorce is an extremely stressful and difficult time for everyone involved. When children are a part of the process, special consideration must be given to the effects that the divorce process will have on their present and future life. There have been many studies published about the effects that divorces have on children and the aspects of a divorce that cause those effects. These studies seem to have the common theme that the more contentious the divorce, the more prone the children are to personally suffer from negative effects in their own lives. Dewitt Law Firm is sensitive to these issues and works hard to ensure that decisions are made that consider the interests of our clients and their children. We work hard to settle child custody / parenting plan disputes, and to shield the child or children from litigation. In cases where settlement is not possible, we employ various resources and strategies to help shield the child or children from the litigation, and to ensure that the Judge receives an accurate and full understanding of the family dynamic and the child or children’s needs.

A large portion of our practice is devoted to cases involving minor children, and we are very familiar with the law and resources that apply. If you are considering a divorce and have minor children, please contact us to discuss your options related to the parenting plan that will control you and your spouse’s future rights and obligations with respect to your child or children. It is important to be educated regarding all aspects of the divorce process that relate to your child or children, including issues related to timesharing (a similar but distinct concept from custody or primary residential responsibility and visitation), shared and sole parental responsibility (forms of parental decision making authority), child support, life insurance to secure child support, health insurance for the child or children, contribution to daycare costs, relocation issues, abuse, or any of the many other issues that may be present in your unique situation.
