Custody-Visitation
Determining Your Rights as a Parent
When parents choose not to stay together after having children, many are shocked to discover they must seek the help of Family Court to establish their rights. The legal process to secure those rights is the most stressful and emotional since it deals with the very fabric of your family. Parents often find themselves overwhelmed with legal terminology intended to define their relationship with their children.
In other cases, some parents find themselves frustrated and confused when their existing Court Order establishing their rights is either no longer working or complied with by the other parent. As one parent’s ability to communicate with the other parent changes, it is likely that they will need to seek assistance from Family Court to secure or enforce their rights to the children.
