Custody and Visitation

In any divorce proceeding, there are numerous issues that must be decided. Child custody and visitation are among the most important issues that arise in the context of a divorce proceeding.

It is an extremely emotional and sensitive issue to consider your child's needs-both now and in the future. Many things must be considered such as each parent's economic ability to care for the child and the current and future earning potential of each parent. Other more practical issues like a parent's ability to take care of the child, the parent's availability and who the child may bond with are also important to consider.

Other factors that must be decided are how parental responsibilities will be shared. Issues to be decided include:

• Where the child will live and whom the child will live with
• Can one parent move out of state with the child
• How frequently will the other parent see the child
• Does the other parent even have rights to the child
• What type of visitation schedule makes sense to everyone
• Which parent pays child support and how much
• Who will pay for the child's health insurance
