Child Custody
Protecting a child’s well-being through a divorce.
All the attorneys at Shearin Law are parents, and we understand the anxiety and fear involved in creating a custody schedule for your children. We also know that no two families are the same, and it is essential to develop or advocate for a custody schedule that works for your particular family.
There are several circumstances where having an effectively drafted Prenuptial or Postnuptial Agreement would benefit your situation.
Custody of the Children
Legal custody refers to the power to make major decisions for a child, such as medical, educational, and religious decisions. Physical custody refers to where the child lives. The standard in North Carolina for custody decisions is the “best interests” of the minor children. Our attorneys believe that you are best equipped to decide what is in your children’s best interest as parents. That is why our attorneys will take the time to listen to your concerns and understand your family, goals, and values so that we can assist you in developing a custody plan for your family. We will also ensure that you understand how custody affects other issues, such as child support and relocation.
Advocating For Your Child’s Best Interest
Sometimes parents cannot get along to determine a custody schedule or make major decisions for their children, and it may be necessary to involve the court. In that case, it is essential to have an attorney experienced in advocating for the children’s best interests by your side. The attorneys at Shearin Law have years of courtroom experience in child custody issues, including high-conflict cases.
Whether we are at the negotiation table or in a courtroom, we are committed to supporting, advising, and advocating for our clients to reach the best outcome possible with the least amount of impact on their children.
