Lexington, South Carolina, Child Custody Modification Attorneys

Lexington, South Carolina, Child Custody Modification Lawyers

Of all the issues associated with divorce, child custody is probably the most emotional. While you and your spouse may have decided to divorce, both of you remain the child's parents forever. We have found that most divorced spouses want to be significantly involved in their children's lives, and are willing to fight for that right. Our attorneys are prepared to litigate if the case calls for it, and offer clients alternative dispute resolution remedies such as mediation and divorce arbitration.

With Americans becoming so mobile, cross-country moves are becoming more and more common. Attorneys at the Law Offices of Richard J. Breibart, LLC, have extensive experience in child custody modification and child custody relocation. If you are faced with one of these situations, you need a lawyer who is well-versed in jurisdictional issues, particularly in cross-border child custody disputes.

Our attorneys are also experienced in reviewing child custody modification orders from other states, and helping clients modify them here.

No Child Custody Arrangement Is Ever Permanent

Child custody modification CAN be pursued if there is a significant change in circumstances. You may decide to remarry, or your child may choose to attend a fine arts high school in a different school district. As children grow up, the custody order needs to change as well. What worked when your child was three years old may not be manageable now that your child wants to attend activities and social events appropriate for older children.

In re-visiting custody arrangements, the court considers the following, always putting the interests of the child first:

• Age of the child and his or her parents
• Developmental stage of the child
• Religious faith of the family
• The child's preferences
