Allocation of Parental Responsibilities – (formerly known as custody)
Allocation of Parental Responsibilities refers to major decision-making responsibilities of a parent including important decisions affecting your child’s education, religion, health, and extracurricular activities following a divorce or a separation. Our statutes and courts encourage parties to reach an agreement regarding parental responsibilities to serve the best interests of the minor children. However, if no agreement by the parties is reached, the courts are prepared to make determinations of parental responsibilities following a trial. Our firm is skilled at negotiating the terms of parental responsibilities and, if necessary, going through the trial process.
