Custody and visitation:

The two words in domestic relations and family law cases that cause parties to go into battle mode are custody and visitation. The fear of loosing custody is incredibly devastating to most parents. Even if one parent is willing to give up primary physical custody of the child, rarely is any parent willing to minimize their ability to visit with their child.  Likewise, rarely does a grandparent want to contemplate not seeing their grandchild (children) on a regular basis.  Most grandparents will do everything in their power to facilitate visitation with their grandchild.

Parents & grandparents engaging the services of a Virginia child custody lawyer, Maryland child custody lawyer or Massachusetts child custody lawyer are no different.

The best child custody attorneys are experienced at specifically handling child custody & visitation cases for parents and grandparents. These family law attorneys constantly remind their clients that the needs and interests of the child are the paramount consideration, not the rights of the parents or grandparents. That means, children can and should spend as much time as possible with both the mother and father and preferably both the maternal and paternal grandparents, during and after the divorce.

The Massachusetts, Maryland & Virginia family law attorneys at SRIS, P.C. have represented many clients in connection with custody determinations, modifications and enforcement of visitation orders. We also handle interstate and international custody issues involving the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) and the Hague Convention.
