Child Custody & Visitation Attorneys in Rockville, Maryland

Custody and visitation decisions may be made as part of a divorce.

Child custody and visitation decisions are based on establishing an arrangement that is in the best interest of the children. There is no comprehensive list of factors that the courts use when determining custody. The court considers the “totality of circumstances” surrounding the care of the child. This is why it is extremely important that you have a passionate advocate who will take the time to get to know you and your children, and help you devise a custody plan that is best for them and the whole family.

Once the court has determined custody or visitation, the parent with custody is presumed to be acting in the best interest of the child. Other parties, including grandparents, may petition the court to change custody or visitation, but it takes a finding of extraordinary circumstances or unfitness of the custodial parent to override their objections.
