We prioritize child custody and parenting time, working diligently to protect your rights and your children's best interests.
At Derby City Family Law, we understand that child custody and parenting time are among the most sensitive and important aspects of any divorce or legal separation. Our experienced attorneys are committed to protecting your legal rights while ensuring that decisions are made in the best interests of your children.
A well-structured custody and parenting plan provides stability for your family during and after divorce. Most parents share joint custody, meaning they make important decisions together regarding their child’s:
✔ Education
✔ Healthcare
✔ Religious upbringing
However, in some cases, one parent may seek sole custody if the other is unable to provide a safe or appropriate environment. Whether you are advocating for joint custody or pursuing sole custody, having an experienced family law attorney is essential to protecting your rights.
It’s also important to distinguish between custody and parenting time (visitation) when negotiating an agreement. A comprehensive parenting plan should include:
Our attorneys craft customized custody and visitation solutions that reflect your family's unique needs while prioritizing the well-being of your children.
In Kentucky, unmarried fathers do not automatically have legal parental rights at birth. While paternity can be established for child support purposes, fathers seeking custody or parenting time must go through the legal process.
Our attorneys are experienced in paternity litigation and will fight to ensure your parental rights are recognized, allowing you to build and maintain a strong relationship with your child.
Kentucky law uses a specific formula to calculate child support payments based on factors such as:
Whether you are seeking child support or being asked to pay, our attorneys ensure that the court has accurate financial information to determine a fair and sustainable support arrangement.
If your co-parent is failing to make court-ordered child support payments, we can petition the court for enforcement measures, including contempt proceedings.
Take the first step toward resolving your child custody or support concerns. Discuss your legal needs with an experienced family law attorney.
