Child Custody

Child Custody may be one of the most important concerns you have.

Custody (or Parenting Plan) is determined based on numerous factors,

including the following:

​

• The relationship of each parent with their child

• The wishes of the children, if they are sufficiently mature to express a preference

• The child's adjustment to home, school and community

• Mental and Physical Health of All Parties Involved

• The Ability of Each Parent to Encourage the Relationship Between the Child

       and the Other Parent

• Whether the past pattern of involvement of the parties with the child reflects a system

       of values, time commitment, and mutual respect.​

• Any reports of domestic violence

• The ability of each parent to place the needs of the child ahead of his or her own needs.

​

In some child custody situations, parents may agree to a parenting plan without an attorney or court's assistance. However, many parents may wish to rely on a Colorado Springs Child Custody attorney to help them reach a custody agreement. If you believe that you are unable to agree on a custody agreement that is in the best interest of your child, please contact McKinney & Associates, P.C. Our office can also assist with other areas of family law, including divorce, child support, adoption, modification of spousal maintenance (alimony) and grandparent's rights.
