Experienced Phoenix Child Custody Lawyer

There are two types of custody issues that should be addressed: Physical custody (where the child or children will reside) and legal custody (who will be allowed to make decisions on behalf of the child).

The courts will always look to what is in the best interest of the child when deciding custody issues. Mr. Baker will work with you to present your case to a judge or negotiate custody and visitation terms on your behalf. Child custody and visitation can be a factor in determining child support also.

Experienced Phoenix Child Visitation (Parenting Time) Attorney

Child visitation (also called parenting time) is either agreed to by the parties and memorialized in a parenting schedule or decided by the court. Visitation issues often include birthdays, holidays, summer vacation, special events, and weekends. Mr. Baker prefers to have the parents attempt to work out custody and visitation arrangements because he believes that parents are in a better position to know what is in the best interest of their child. If the parents are able to work out those issues, Mr. Baker will memorialize the agreement in writing. However, if the parents cannot agree, he will zealously advocate on your behalf in court and present the issues to the court concisely, logically, and persuasively on your behalf.
