If you are going through a divorce and have minor children, you and your spouse may be in a dispute over who will get child custody. A Cicero attorney who handles cases that involve divorce and child custody may try to help you get child custody in the following ways.
Protect Your Parental Rights
Regardless of who’s likely to get awarded custody in a child custody dispute, you still have parental rights that shouldn’t be violated. Your attorney can explain these rights in full detail and will do everything possible to make sure that your case is handled by the judge in a fair and unbiased manner.
Show Evidence of Financial Stability
Judges often award child custody to the parent who is the most financially stable and has enough money to support their children sufficiently. Your attorney may present financial records to the judge to show that your income is stable and that you’re the most suitable parent in this regard.
Refute Negative and Untrue Statements
Your soon-to-be ex-spouse and their attorney may say negative things about you that are exaggerated or untrue to try to win custody. With help from your attorney, you may be able to refute these claims successfully and better your chances of winning the case.
When the custody of your children is at stake, you shouldn’t hesitate to hire an attorney who will be on your side. To arrange a consultation with a Cicero attorney who practices child custody law, please contact Koch & Associates P.C. Attorneys At Law.
