Lawyers for Child Custody Matters in Idaho
It can be difficult for divorced parents and parents who were never married to reach a fair child custody agreement. In the state of Idaho, legal decisions regarding custody are based on the best interests of the child. At Gulstrom, Henson & Petrie, PC, we strive for this same goal, keeping the child's wellbeing in mind at all times.
If you need legal assistance in establishing custody and a parenting plan, contact our law firm. We are located in Nampa and we serve clients throughout Southwest Idaho in all family law matters.
The Best Interests of the Child
Though the state of Idaho strives to provide equal rights to both parents, there are many factors taken into consideration when establishing custody. The child's age, parental preferences, where the parents live and where the child attends school are just a few. At Gulstrom, Henson & Petrie, PC, we can help determine the best interests of your child and explain your side to the judge. We can also assist you in modifying a custody or child support judgment.
Custody Agreements & Parenting Plans
The custody agreement contains a detailed parenting plan that outlines time spent with each parent (visitation rights). It can also include agreements regarding the religious upbringing of the child and the child's education. Because it is sometimes difficult for parents to work out an agreement, our attorneys are available to guide you through mediation, or represent you if the situation becomes conflicted.
