Child Custody

Schaumburg Child Custody Attorney

In Illinois, child custody and visitation are often the most disputed areas in divorce negotiations as they have both emotional and financial effects. The lawyers of Anderson & Associates, P.C. are committed to representing our clients’ interests in child custody and visitation issues while minimizing the impact on the affected children.

Legal custody has to do with making decisions concerning their children, such as residence of the child, education, medical and dental treatment, religious education, extracurricular activities, summer camp, and recreation. In Illinois, the guiding principle in all child custody maters is the best interest of the child. There are two types of custody that can be granted: sole custody and joint custody. When sole custody is granted, one parent has the authority to make all legal decisions for the children. The non-custodial parent is awarded specific visitation with the child. When joint custody is granted, the parents both have input into major decisions. Major decisions include education, religion, major medical care, and in certain cases, extracurricular activities. One parent probably has primary residential custody of the child. The other parent has parenting time similar to visitation in a sole custody case.

Effective child custody agreements are the most important documents in a family dissolution matter. The child custody attorneys in our Wheaton law firm pursue custody agreements that serve the best interests of children. Our attorneys listen to parents, offer legal counsel, and pursue custodial arrangements that suit the needs of the family.

At Anderson & Associates, P.C. we help our clients obtain favorable custody and visitation. If parents are unable to come to an agreement with these matters, we provide skilled and experience litigators.
