Family Law · Child Custody
Experienced Child Custody Attorneys
Your kids are the most important people in your divorce. We work to make custody transitions as smooth as possible — for them and for you.
When changes happen that affect your children's best interests, you want to be sure the negative impact is as minimal as possible. At The Law Offices of Patrick L. Cordero, we work closely with our clients to help make custody changes seamless. Our family lawyers offer straightforward advice and take a hands-on approach to representing family-law clients.
Factors the Courts Consider
Florida courts look at several factors when approving a custody agreement. A judge will consider who is best suited to care for the child, whether the child has special needs, the child's activities and after-school care, and more. Ultimately, the judge makes the decision that he or she believes is in the child's best interests.
We will take the time to explain custody laws, what the courts will look at when determining custody, how your divorce affects the situation, and what the likely outcome will be — so you walk into court knowing what to expect.
Building Your Parenting Time Plan
A parenting time plan lists custody rights, visitation (or time-sharing) schedules, child support, and more. We work to help you build an effective plan with minimal conflict.
In addition to providing comprehensive representation for child custody, we handle related matters including paternity, custody modifications, child-support modifications, and parental relocation.
