Prior Lake Child Custody Attorneys
Even though a marriage is ending, parenting will still continue on indefinitely. An amicable, positive situation where the parents are working together is in everyone’s best interest, and we encourage this through assisting in creating a comprehensive plan for parenting time that caters to the needs of all parties involved.
At Julius Law Offices, our Prior Lake child custody attorneys advocate for resolution through negotiation and mediation, thus alleviating a great deal of stress for all parties. Coming to a resolution via these methods is considered favorable in the courts because judges tend to be impartial to signing off on mediated or negotiated agreements, rather than to making a ruling on their own. Our Prior Lake child custody attorneys strive to achieve a child custody agreement that works for everybody in your family.
We Will Help You Create A Comprehensive Parenting Plan
The state of Minnesota does not grant preference for mothers over fathers in custody cases, and the mediator and family court considers all facets of each case, including the non-binding social early neutral evaluation (SENE).
Sole custody, joint custody, primary physical custody, and joint physical custody are all potential outcomes in a child custody case. Joint custody will not necessarily be divided 50/50, dependant upon what the parents work out in the parenting time agreement. It is also important to consider that as children grow, modifying parenting time may be necessary.
