Skilled at Handling Visitation Issues
In many cases that involve children, visitation and access is a hot button issue. At Clark Family Law, P.C., in Phoenix, we know that you want what is best for your child. However, what you believe is best for your child may not be what the court sees as the child's best interests. We can help you understand your visitation rights and work to pursue a parenting plan that assists all of your family members.
Our Phoenix visitation rights lawyer, Richard W. Clark, has 40 years of experience. He understands how distance, careers and school activities can affect visitation. The courts strive to establish arrangements that maximize both parents' time with the children. However, we understand that some situations may be out of your control. We can discuss your concerns and provide guidance tailored to your needs.
Maricopa County Parenting Plan Lawyer Developing a Plan for You
In Arizona, there is a presumption in favor of joint custody and equal visitation rights between the parents. This means that if a parent wants to be involved in the decision making process, then the court is likely to grant joint custody. Additionally, if both parents want to have maximum time with the child, then the court is likely to grant equal visitation time. However, above all the courts will evaluate a parenting plan based on what is in the best interests of the child.
At our firm, we understand that not every family is the same. We can help you develop a parenting plan and visitation schedule that meets the day-to-day needs of your family and your child such as:
- Special medical and educational needs of the child
- Holidays and religious events
- Work schedules
- Extracurricular activities
Modifying Parenting Plans
Circumstances change over time. If you have had a substantial change in circumstances, we can help you modify an existing parenting plan. We also help parents who are opposed to changes in visitation rights.
