Oxford & Fairfield Child Custody Attorney

Creating Shared Parenting Plans for You and Your Family

A shared parenting plan, also known as a child custody and visitation agreement, is meant to provide your child with the parenting time he or she deserves with both parents. While many parenting plans are determined by the court in contentious situations, it is also possible to create a plan outside of court.

At the law firm of Haughey & Deters, LLC, we provide strong family law counsel to clients throughout southwest Ohio, including Hamilton, Oxford and Fairfield. Child custody lawyer Kyra M. Raimey is our dedicated family law attorney whose goal is to help you find the right solution for you and your family. In parenting plan cases, this solution often involves the creation of a comprehensive child custody and visitation arrangement that truly takes into consideration the best interests of your child.

Putting the Best Interests of Your Child First

Every shared parenting plan is focused on the "best interest of the child" standard. This standard takes into account numerous factors, including:

• The stability of parents' relationship
• The child's mental health
• Financial support
• The relationship each parent has with the child
• Which parent has taken primary care of the children
• Which parent is most likely to facilitate the relationship between the other parent and the child

Attorney Raimey firmly believes in this standard. She works with her clients to turn the focus away from their problems with their spouse and instead focuses it on finding ways to truly put their children's needs before their own.

Contested Parenting Plan Cases

In contested cases involving custody and visitation, attorney Raimey will work closely with you and numerous professionals to help determine what is in the best interests of the child. These professionals can include:

• Psychologists, who get involved to perform basic custody evaluations
• Guardians ad litem, who are attorneys who practice family law and are appointed by the court to do an investigation for the sole purpose of recommending what is in the best interests of the children
• Social workers, who may perform home visits to evaluate your daily relationship with your child and your living situation

If you are involved in a contested custody matter, it is important that you understand that many other people, from social workers to a family court judge, will have the final say in what your relationship with your child is going to be like in the future. At our firm, we will do everything in our power to advocate for your parental rights.
