Securing skilled and experienced family law representation is the best way to avoid conflict while still effectively pursuing your goals regarding child custody, parenting time and child support.
When children are involved in a divorce, the key issues are often child support, child custody and parenting time (or visitation as it is sometimes known). Every parent wants to protect their relationship with his or her child during and after a divorce. The determination of child custody, parenting time and child support can often result in much anxiety and conflict.
The court will look to the best interests of the child when making any determinations regarding child custody and parenting time. Minnesota statutes require the court to consider factors such as who the primary caregiver has been for most of the child’s life, consistency, stability, and any disruptions to the child’s life that would occur.
Child support is determined by state guidelines that follow a formula. Various factors such as income, the overnight parenting schedule, and certain expenses are entered into the formula to set a child support obligation. Ensuring that a child has what he or she needs, while reserving sufficient funds for the payor household to subsist, is critical for both spouses following a divorce.
At Aho Law Office, P.A., we are committed to helping you effectively pursue your goals regarding child custody, parenting time, and child support as part of a divorce or as a standalone legal issue. We understand how critical child-related issues can be during a divorce, and bring all of our skill and knowledge to help our clients protect their relationship with their children.
During a divorce or when deciding on child custody or child support, all involved parties do their best to arrive at a resolution that is functional now and for the foreseeable future. But, it can be hard to predict what the future holds. Sometimes, future circumstances may change so dramatically that the terms of an agreement simply no longer fit or are in the best interests of the child.
When the conditions on which your family law agreement were predicated are no longer applicable, in many cases you can ask the court to modify that agreement in light of those new circumstances. A skilled and experienced attorney can help ensure that the court understands the impact of the changes that have occurred.
