In my practice, I try to help my clients see beyond the emotional aspects of such matters and focus on building a better future for themselves and their children.
Idaho courts always decide child custody and visitation matters “in the best interests of the child”. While the initial decisions regarding legal custody and physical custody are determined during the divorce process, these can change over time as the parents’ lives change.
If a parent’s work schedule changes for example, I can go to court on the parent’s behalf to obtain a modification in parenting time. A move-away or parental relocation on the other hand presents difficult legal issues that can only be resolved through negotiation or court decree. As an experienced family law and child custody lawyer, I understand the complexity of these issues from a legal and practical perspective.
In all family law and child custody matters, I am a strong advocate for my clients and their children.
