Child Custody and Visitation
Our firm has extensive experience in all aspects of custody and visitation. We advise and represent people in matters involving:
- Child custody
- Visitation and parental time-sharing agreements
- Modifications in custody and visitation
- Proposed child relocations
- Paternity as it relates to custody and visitation
Courts in Florida always decide custody and visitation matters in favor of the "best interest of the child". In many cases, this will result in shared legal custody and a time-sharing agreement on some basis.
We have found that negotiation can provide acceptable and workable solutions with less cost and emotional stress than litigation. You can also have much more control over the ultimate outcome. We have the skills that are necessary to negotiate custody and visitation arrangements and we will work closely with you to develop the right solution for you and your children.
Sometimes one parent may have reason to believe the other parent is not suitable or responsible enough to be alone with the child. In cases such as these, we will litigate assertively to protect your rights and achieve your goals. You must be aware, however, that in contesting custody, you are placing the final outcome in the hands of a judge. An attorney at Pickett Law Firm will carefully explain the legal issues in your case so that you can make the right decision about how to proceed.
Child Support
Our firm can address all matters relating to child support, including:
- Determination of the support level
- Modifications in child support
- Enforcement of child support orders
- Paternity and child support
In Florida, the level of child support is determined by the incomes of the parents, the child's residency time with each parent, the needs of the child and certain experiences. It is important to account for all of these factors when calculating the support level. Our founding attorney has a Masters Degree in Finance and understands how to accurately calculate child support and will work to protect your rights during and after divorce.
