For more than 80 years, the lawyers at Timoney Knox have helped clients in Lancaster, Fort Washington and surrounding cities of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania develop solutions that fit their specific needs and situations. We will listen to you and work out a child custody and visitation plan that fits your family's needs.
Child custody: Where should the children spend most of their time? Do both parents live in the same school district? Are both parents equally available for parenting time? We will work with you to determine your objectives and what solution is best.
Visitation: Children need both parents — and both parents have the right to spend time with their children and be a part of the children's growth. Our divorce attorneys will help you determine a visitation or parenting time schedule that works for your family's circumstances.
Grandparent rights: Often in a divorce, grandparents and other close relatives may feel shut off from the children. What are your rights? Talk to a lawyer about arranging for access to your grandchildren.
Change in custody: Circumstances change. A parent may need to move out of the Philadelphia area. One parent may become unfit because of mental or physical problems. The children's needs and preferences may change. Talk to an attorney about a post-judgment modification to custody.
After a divorce, remember to evaluate and revise your estate plan as needed.
At Timoney Knox, we work with families to help make the divorce transition as smooth as possible — especially for the children. We will protect your parental rights and work for an amicable solution that is in the children's best interests. Contact us if you have concerns about child custody and visitation.
