Sharing custody is rarely easy, even after a conflict-free divorce. It takes patience and the ability to set your differences aside as people and parents. Our experienced Tacoma custody attorneys at Envision Family Law are proficient at helping parents solve custody problems while creating sufficient child custody arrangements. We take cases from every corner of Washington state and are prepared to offer our assistance to every parent in need of support.
When family-related issues occur, we all need support. A local Tacoma child custody lawyer can guide you through the custody process and explain everything to you while protecting your visitation and custody rights. Additionally, an attorney can help you identify which child custody arrangement is best for your situation. This will help you move through the process smoothly and avoid a lengthy court battle.
In Washington, children are not allowed to make decisions about their living situations until they turn 18 and become legal adults. However, judges may still consider the child’s wishes if they deem the child mature enough to voice their opinion sufficiently.
While altering your custody schedule is possible, you must have valid reasons to make a change; otherwise, your request could be denied. To successfully modify your schedule, both parents must be in favor of the proposed change, and the request must be in the child’s best interests. Additionally, judges can make alterations to your parenting plan if there are significant changes or events, like a parent being convicted of a serious crime or if one parent moves away.
Washington parents can find relief and answers to their common questions by contacting a knowledgeable custody attorney. If you need legal assistance, please contact our firm at 888-211-7814 or complete our online form.
