Ensuring Stability for Your Child
Even if parents are ending a longtime marriage, or unmarried parents end their relationship, their children are entitled to a certain level of stability. Like mom and dad, their lives have also been turned upside down. At Borsberry Law Offices, P.C. in Peoria, Illinois, we share the court's focus on the best interests of the children. We strive to find a peaceful and stable ground for sons and daughters in custody and visitation matters. Sometimes, it is necessary to modify existing custody and visitation orders and we know what it takes to accomplish this.
Finding a reasonable, amicable solution in a custody dispute and putting your children first can promote peace and better relationships in the future. When negotiation is no longer possible, we will be ready to go to court for you. For help, contact us at 309-740-7246.
Handling the Legal and Personal Complexities of Child Custody and Visitation Matters
Child custody and visitation cases are often emotionally-charged and rife with personal issues. However, there are various statutory factors involved in these issues. Most of those statutes relate to the past primary caretaker of the child and which parent can provide that all-important stability. An experienced and knowledgeable attorney with years of experience representing both mothers and fathers, and both custodial parents as well as visiting parents, we can help you protect your rights while giving you an idea of what to expect in your case.
At Borsberry Law Offices, P.C., we have the experience and legal knowledge to handle more challenging custody matters that involve third parties, including grandparents and other family members. They may have a valid claim to visitation or custody of the child.
We Protect the Rights of You and Your Children
As our focus is on the best interests of the child, we strive to keep peace through peaceful negotiation, not contentious litigation. Children should not be unnecessarily deprived of their mother or father due to issues between their parents. If neither you nor your spouse are seriously endangering your children, the noncustodial parent is entitled to reasonable and liberal visitation schedules considering the parties' work schedules.
Removal Cases-Moving a Child's Residence to Another State
A custodial parent does not have the absolute ability to move a child out of state. If an agreement cannot be reached with the other parent, it is necessary to seek the court's permission to do so, based upon several factors, including the benefits to the custodial parent and children, and any detrimental impact this would have on the other parent's visitation with a child. We understand both sides of the issue and are able to address these issues appropriately.
