PROTECT YOUR RIGHTS AND THE BEST INTERESTS OF YOUR CHILD

There are a variety of custody arrangements for divorced or unmarried parents. In your custody case, the courts, with the parents' input, will make a determination where the child should reside and then make arrangements accordingly. Joint physical custody gives both parents equal rights. Legal custody gives the non-custodial parent the right to make educational and health care decisions even though the child does not reside with him or her.

Contact John L. Mendez, Attorney at Law, for more information on custody or visitation.
