Child Custody and Parenting Time
Phoenix Child Custody Lawyer
At the Law Offices of Susanne M. Sternberg, PC, our Phoenix child custody lawyer represents clients (both moms and dads) who are no longer together but have children in common. Our attorney understands that there is nothing more important to her clients than their children. Our lawyer represents clients throughout the state of Arizona, including the cities of Tempe, Phoenix, Mesa, Gilbert, and Surprise. We can help you with your critical child custody, parenting time / visitation matter, contact us to find out how we can help.
At the outset, our child custody attorney will explain that there are actually two “types” of custody: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody is a parent’s right to participate in making major decisions regarding the child’s physical and emotional well-being. Physical custody is the actual amount of physical time the child spends with each parent. Our lawyer will help you determine what custody arrangement would be in both you and your child’s best interest, will explain the factors the court will consider when deciding these issues and will advise you what steps to take to achieve the result you want.
At the Law Offices of Susanne M. Sternberg, PC, we can help establish, modify or enforce these orders based on our client’s needs. Our Phoenix child custody lawyer helps our clients in many ways, including:
- Establishing paternity
- Devising parenting plans (i.e., a schedule for physical custody)
- Modifying legal and/or physical custody
- Increasing or limiting parenting time
- Revising custody and parenting time orders to conform to the reality of the parties’ situation
- Enforcing orders relating to parenting time
- Advising parents who wish to relocate
- Handling post-decree modifications
- Filing contempt actions
Often our Phoenix custody lawyer is asked, “So what are my chances of winning?” Although no attorney can ever guarantee the outcome of any case, our attorney gives her clients an honest answer while explaining what factors will influence the court’s determination. At the Law Offices of Susanne M. Sternberg, we choose to limit our practice solely to family law cases. We believe that it is important to focus on one area of the law in order to perfect the nuances involved in the representation. Our lawyer’s personal experience representing family law clients gives us the ability to predict what a court is likely to do and why. We will advise our clients what to do/what not to do to improve their chances of achieving their objectives (i.e., “winning”).
