Gillespie, Shields & Associates: Helping Families with Custody Issues

Few issues in the realm of family law have the same emotional impact as child custody.  When it comes to deciding which parent or non-parental guardian will have custody of a child, much contention may occur.  This is due to the fact that every parent wants to remain involved in their children’s lives.  No parent wants to live with the fear that they may not have a lasting relationship with their children.

Child custody refers to the responsibilities and rights parents have for their children.  These obligations usually pertain to the child’s welfare, living situation, education and health care.  In some cases, parents may be able to reach an agreement regarding custody and visitation.  However, more often than not, parents will call on the family courts to award sole or joint custody.
