Child custody is a sensitive, but critical aspect of the family law process. There is no more important issue in the realm of family law than the best interest of a child. Making arrangements for the care, custody, support, and control of minor children is a priority for the family court and the family law attorneys at Puff, Sierzega & MacFeeters, LLC. Every decision made in this process will have a significant impact on your children and your role as a parent.

Child Custody determinations and parenting time plans are made in the context of divorce cases, as well as non-dissolution matters, where the parents of the child may never have been married. Child Custody determinations can also be made on an emergent basis, such as in connection with Domestic Violence Restraining Orders. In all cases, legal custody (the right to make significant decisions regarding the child’s health, education, and welfare) as well as physical custody (a parenting plan determining when the child is with each parent) must be determined.
