Oakland County Visitation Attorney
Macomb County Parenting Time Lawyer
The legal sense of "child custody" has evolved within the last decade. No longer do courts strictly look at which parent has joint or full custody, but at the child's development needs as well as fostering a good relationship with both parents. This is all for the sake of the child. Society now believes that an "as close to equal" amount of time with both parents is usually in the best interests of a child.

Parenting Time and Visitation
Just because you and your spouse have decided to get a divorce does not mean your rights as a parent are terminated. Divorce does not stop you and your child from having the same relationship and continuing on the same positive path you already were on. The best way to continue a healthy parenting relationship is usually to have both parents equally involved. This means equal parenting time.
More and more family courts are pushing for equal parenting time between parents. Absent negative circumstances such as drug abuse, domestic violence or child abuse, judges will usually honor the wishes of parents if they seek equal parenting time.
The Legal Center of Jack L. Jaffe can help you achieve a parenting time agreement that works for both you and your child. Parenting time agreements often include details such as when each parent has parenting time as well as for holidays, vacations and emergency situations.
