West Palm Beach Child Custody Lawyer
Eric N. Klein & Associates, P.A. have a great deal of experience in all fields of family law. The fields of child custody and visitation rights are no different. There are a lot of different factors that must be taken into account when it comes to custody and visitation. The courts will want to consider all of these, but it is a good idea to let our West Palm Beach custody and visitation attorneys let you know where you stand.
Important Factors in Child Custody
There are many factors that the courts will look at when trying to determine custody and visitation rights. Some of the more prominent ones are as follows:
- Primary caregiver of the child or children
- Which parent is more likely to grant visitation to the other parent
- The parents’ fitness, both psychological and physical
- The child’s or children’s input
- The parents’ financial stability
- Any history of domestic violence in the parents
- Recommendations of the Guardian Ad Litem
- Keeping siblings together
Our West Palm Beach divorce attorneys have helped our clients with a wide range of child custody cases, including those involving:
- Modifications to Visitation Agreements
- Enforcing Visitation Agreements
This list, however, only scratches the surface of what the courts will base their decisions on. This is commonly referred to as the “Best Interest of the Child” test. Unfortunately, the court may miss something when performing this test. For this reason, custody is never really permanent. The attorneys of Eric N. Klein & Associates, P.A. can explain this further.
Visitation Rights
When it comes to visitation, it is extremely rare that a parent is not granted these rights. The State of Florida operates on a system that believes that every child has a right to see both parents. If visitation rights are being withheld by a custodial parent, that parent is often acting outside of his or her rights.
