Columbus Area Child Custody and Visitation Lawyer
Helping Parents Throughout Central Ohio Reach Child Custody and Visitation Agreements
Although nothing is more important to a parent than the welfare of their children, even well intentioned parents on the best of terms can reach different conclusions about what is in the best interests of their children.
Whether decisions about child custody and visitation are being made in the context of a paternity case or during a divorce, they can be emotionally wrenching. Child custody disputes are often the most challenging barrier to an amicable, uncontested divorce.
At the law office of Richard L. Morris Co. L.P.A. in Gahanna, Ohio, our family law attorney can help you:
- Understand your parental rights under Ohio family law (particularly in cases in which the parents are unmarried)
- Understand how child custody relates to child support
- Negotiate visitation arrangements that work for your family's specific needs, including visitation with grandparents when it is in the best interest of the children
- Bring your case for primary custody or joint custody before the family court
- Seek any necessary modifications to an existing child custody order
- Seek an emergency custody order if you suspect your child has been harmed or is in immanent danger
If you are experiencing a change in your family situation that will affect your time with your child, or you need to respond to a petition, talk to a family law attorney who is passionate about protecting your rights as a parent. Contact attorney Richard L. Morris online or call our office at 614-428-0052. Our firm provides a free telephone consultation and case evaluation.
Protecting Your Parental Rights Throughout the Process
In divorce and paternity cases, we are often able to resolve custody and visitation disputes through effective communication and negotiation. In cases where agreement is simply not possible, Mr. Morris will argue effectively and confidently on your behalf at trial.
Sometimes clients come to us after they have attempted to handle their own cases - or after they have signed legal agreements waiving some or all of their parental rights. They have already received a divorce order that is unfavorable to their continuing relationship with their children. In these cases, Mr. Morris can speak with you about your rights and determine whether you have grounds to seek a modification of your custody or visitation order.
