Compassionate Child Custody Attorneys
Divorce, or the end of a relationship, is emotionally challenging for adults; for kids, it can be crushing. Not only are they witnessing the end of their parents’ relationship as they knew it, but they’re also losing the family life they know. By focusing on what’s best for the children, parents can help ease this process for their children.
Advocating for Swift and Peaceful Resolutions
At Dozier Miller, we advocate swift and peaceful resolutions in child custody cases, whenever possible, so kids can regain stability and a “new normal.” In North Carolina, judges have broad discretion when deciding custody. We will guide you through the various considerations, advocate for the one that best serves you and your children, and advise you on making the most of the court's decision.
Understanding Physical and Legal Custody
Child custody encompasses two aspects: physical and legal custody.
- Physical Custody: Determines where the child will live.
- Legal Custody: Determines who has the authority to make important decisions affecting the child's life, such as education and medical care.
The court does not favor either parent when deciding custody but considers factors like the home environment, the ability to provide daily care, the relationship with the child, and the child's safety.
Why Choose Dozier Miller for Child Custody Cases?
Having an experienced child custody attorney who is well respected by the court can be invaluable. Whatever your desired custodial arrangement, our attorneys at Dozier Miller will get to know you and your family. We are dedicated to helping you achieve the best possible outcome for your children.
