Divorce and Separation: Child Custody Decisions in Collin County
Whether you are getting a divorce or separating from your partner, child custody decisions are often the hardest and most emotional to make. In order to protect your rights as a parent and the best interests of your child, it is important you have an experienced child custody lawyer on your side.
Since 1974, the Pelley Law Office, L.L.P., in Plano has served parents throughout Collin County and all of North Texas in child custody matters. Whether we are helping them put together a parenting plan, or revising an existing one, our goal is to reach a resolution that allows the family to move forward with a focus on doing what is best for the children.
Primary Child Custody
In general, the Collin County and North Texas courts will give one parent primary custody of the child. This decision is based on a variety of factors, including relationship with the child, income and home life, and a child's preference if he or she is over the age of 12. The other parent will have ample parenting time according to some of these same factors.
Our McKinney child custody lawyers urge our clients and the child's other parent to work though custody disputes amicably. This helps ensure that a mutually agreeable plan is developed and implemented. It also lays the groundwork for negotiations in the future. However, we are skilled trial attorneys who will not hesitate to go to court in order to protect our clients' needs and interests, if necessary.
