Central Arkansas Shared Parenting Attorney
In shared custody, both parents have shared responsibilities with regard to decisions in a child's life. Decisions such as religion, education or health care are made by both parents in a split custody arrangement. Both parents will also have significant physical custody responsibilities and will have frequent, meaningful contact with the child as he or she matures.
Parents will typically view the notion of shared custody from different perspectives. It is common for one parent to vigorously pursue shared custody, while the other parent desires sole custody or a similar variation. It is important to note that our firm will carefully examine the facts of your situation before providing direction in either path. Shared custody might be right for your family — or it might not. Trust us to help you either way.
