Parenting & Children’s Disputes
Enduring a separation is an emotional and stressful time for everyone involved, particularly children. It is important that while you and your spouse separate, that your children are considered. Most importantly, your children should live in a safe environment, free from violence or abuse and continue to see and maintain a meaningful relationship with both parents.

If you and your former spouse cannot mutually agree on a parenting arrangement, the judge will make final decision which will be based fundamentally on the best interests of the child.
