Child Custody Trusted Guidance That Exceeds Expectations

Baton Rouge Child Custody Lawyer

Child Custody in Baton Rouge, Louisiana

When married or unmarried couples with children decide to get a divorce or end their relationship, the issue of where the children will live and who will be responsible for them is of great importance. In some cases, parents can work out the particulars between themselves, including child custody. If the two can sort out the agreement without intervention, the court will make the agreement official, as long as the best interests of the child are being served. If the parents are unable to come to an agreement about child custody, the court will intervene and make the decision. As these issues are often complex and emotional, it is a advised that you consult a Baton Rouge family law attorney to help guide you and sort out the issues and come up with the best possible child custody arrangement.

Types of Child Custody in Baton Rouge

Legal custody is a term that means one parent or guardian will be responsible for making important decisions for the child, such as where he will be schooled, if and where he will attend church, and routine health and medical decisions. Physical custody is the term that means the child physically lives with one parent or guardian. Often, the parent or guardian who does not have physical custody is awarded visitation rights.

There are many additional factors involved with child custody, such as whether it will be sole legal custody, joint legal custody, sole physical custody, joint physical custody, and even bird's nest custody. This is when the child stays at a residence and the parents take turns staying there with the child. At the Law Office of Wendra J. Moran, I work diligently and with compassion to help you work out the best child custody and child support arrangements possible.

    “Listened to my wishes and allowed me to take my time”
    Last month, we finalized and signed all of my estate planning paperwork to protect my baby Nova’s assets along with carrying out my healthcare wishes. I can’t lie this was probably next to one of the hardest things I’ve had to do besides burying my parents If you haven’t done your estates planning, I highly recommend my attorney - Law Office of Wendra J. Moran. She listened to my wishes and allowed me to take my time as I processed my wishes at my pace. It took me over a month to revisit this conversation with her, but she was very supportive and caring during this process. Also, I think it’s important to note that she is very knowledgeable about family laws as well.
