Decision-Making Authority

In Alabama, courts generally award joint legal custody to divorcing parents. That means both parents will have a say in major decisions regarding religion, education, and medical decisions. However, if a parent has exhibited poor decision-making where the child is concerned, the court may award one parent sole decision-making authority.

Relocation

As a consequence of divorce, a parent’s situation may change, requiring they move. Regardless of the reason why the parent wants to move, relocation will affect child custody. The good news is our Alabama child custody lawyers are well-versed in child custody issues such as these and can help you work out the arrangement you need.

Visitation & Shared Parenting

Recently, Alabama changed its criteria for determining visitation and shared parenting. Parents no longer need to share physical parenting time equally. Instead, the standard is the child spends as much time with the non-resident parent as practically possible.

Modify or Enforce Agreements

Sometimes even the most solid of custody agreements need modification. Divorced parents find new jobs, new spouses, or desire a change in their lifestyle. We can create a child custody arrangement that keeps the child’s best interests at forefront. If your ex-spouse is refusing to follow terms, we can help file petitions to enforce your agreement.
