Parenting Time and Realistic Expectations

Getting sole custody of your child is no easy task. Joint physical custody, and even a standard visitation/parenting time schedule, is often better for the child because the parenting plan offers the child access to both parents. For that reason, it can be difficult to persuade a judge that you deserve sole legal custody of your child, or that your former spouse is unfit to be a guardian/parent.

If any lawyer promises unequivocally that you will get sole legal custody, you should know that there is no guarantee that the promise will be kept. At Joseph A. DeWoskin, PC, we are always honest with our clients, and we set realistic expectations and work hard to exceed them. You can rely on us for honest answers, compassionate guidance, and strong representation.
