As a parent, the health and safety of your child is a top priority. A Franklin County child custody lawyer can help you protect your child’s future with a strong parenting plan.
Child custody in Washington involves deciding where a child will live and who has the authority to make important decisions for the child. The court uses many factors when analyzing a child custody case, ultimately selecting a parenting plan that is in the child’s best interests. A Franklin County child custody lawyer can explain what aspects of your case a court might analyze, which can vary depending on your family and your child’s needs.
Custody can be 50/50, but it is not automatically even. A lawyer can identify whether a 50/50 joint parenting plan is possible for your case. They can also explain alternative arrangements that still protect both parents’ rights.
