Often, the most painful aspect of a divorce is making decisions regarding child custody and visitation. No matter how difficult the process is, however, the most important consideration in making these decisions is the best interests of your child or children.
At The Patel Law Firm, LLC, in Independence, I am an experienced child custody lawyer who will help you consider the parenting plan options that most rationally suit your family's needs, whether both parents share joint custody or one has sole custody, if both of you have legal custody in which you make important life decisions together but only one of you has physical custody, or any combination thereof. Creating a parenting plan together gives you control over your child's life or children's lives, rather than leaving this decision in the hands of the court.
Contact me, an Independence lawyer, with your questions about child custody. We can also help you to navigate custody evaluations and modifications of existing court orders.
Kansas City Child Support Lawyer
The parent who does not have sole or shared custody, also called the noncustodial parent, is legally required to pay child support. The amount paid is determined by a formula established by Missouri lawmakers, with the objective to provide financially for the children of a divorce.
It is of great importance that accurate information is used in the formula. I will carefully review the financial information of both you and your spouse to ensure fair reflection of your current financial situation. I can also assist you with modification of your child support payments to reflect changes in your life situation, such as the loss of a job or if you have another child.
