Palatine Child Custody Lawyer

In divorce cases, the decision about which parent has custody of a couple's children is typically based on what is best for the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of the child.

What Is Best for Your Child?

That is my primary concern as a child custody attorney. If you are my client, I will assist you in finding the right situation for the custody of your child. The court may consider a number of factors in this regard, including:

1. Your wishes and the wishes of your spouse
2. The wishes of the child
3. The interaction and interrelationship of the child with you and your spouse, siblings, and other family members
4. The child's adjustment to his home, school, and community
5. The mental and physical health of all family members
6. The possibility of physical violence by the child's potential custodian
7. The occurrence of ongoing abuse of the child or someone else in the family
8. Your desire to facilitate and encourage continuing relationship between the other parent and your child

Know Your Legal Options

As a parent, you have some legal rights as to which judge will decide your child custody case. Because of my experience in local courts, I can advise you about how that right can affect your concerns in numerous child custody issues, including:

• Joint custody
• Paternity tests
• Removal of children to another state or location
• Post-decree modifications

Knowledge of Illinois divorce and child custody law is extremely important in these cases. I can assist you in protecting your rights and your child's welfare.
