Milwaukee and Waukesha Child Custody LawyersDecisions involving your children are often the most complex, frustrating and emotionally challenging issues in divorce or legal separation. At the law office of Hickey, Turim, & Usow, S.C., we recognize how important your children are to you. We work to alleviate the strain and anxiety of child custody disputes by working to achieve an amicable resolution. We strive to protect your parental rights and the best interests of your children. Contact our Wisconsin family law attorneys to discuss your child custody case. As experienced child custody lawyers, we can help you understand Wisconsin child custody laws and pursue a favorable resolution to your child custody matter. Child custody is divided into legal custody and physical placement (physical custody). - Legal custody: Legal custody refers to the decision making authority of the parents. If the child custody agreement establishes joint legal custody, the parents must confer on major decisions involving the child, such as religious upbringing, schooling, medical care and other significant decisions.
- Physical custody/physical placement: Child custody/physical placement/child placement refers to the time spent with the child. Although one parent may be granted primary custody/placement, the other parent will usually be granted some form of visitation or parenting time. The parent with which the child resides will have decision making authority of the main day-to-day decisions.
In addition to resolving child custody disputes, our attorneys handle visitation, child support, child support or child custody modifications, grandparent rights and other related child custody issues. Because family separation is traumatic on the children involved, it is usually in the best interests of your children to attempt to reach an agreement on child custody without bitter disputes or animosity. Doing so will promote healthier relationships between the parents - who still must maintain some form of relationship while raising the children, and it will alleviate the emotional trauma that your children must endure. However, when an amicable resolution is not in the best interests of you or your children, we have the experience to fight for your rights in trial.
