Custody, Visitation And Decision-Making

You deserve to be a part of your child’s life. As a father, you play an important role in raising your child. Ms. McNelis will make sure that the court establishes your parental rights that include:

• Custody: It’s rare that a divorced or unmarried father gets sole custody of a child. However, this may happen if the mother proves to be unfit, resulting in a court order from a judge.
• Shared custody: Equal parenting time with the child’s mother can be proven beneficial for the child.
• Visitation: You want to play a significant role in your child’s upbringing, and it’s crucial that you maintain regular visitation.
• Decision-making: This may include decisions related to health and education.
