Child Custody

Will You Lose Your Children? Not If We Can Help It

Champaign, Illinois, Child Custody Lawyers

The two most contentious issues in family law are determining the custody of the children and how to divide property. Obviously, making sure your children are taken care of and have the support they need to thrive in a new family environment is the most important thing for a parent. If you're going through a divorce, you need an attorney who understands this.

At the law firm of Anderson & Fitzjarrald in Champaign, we work closely with mothers and fathers to make sure their children are taken care of and their parental rights are protected. We believe strongly that children need their parents involved in their lives and will do everything we can to help create a parenting time agreement that makes sense for your unique situation.

You deserve to be involved in your child's life. We can help you preserve your rights. Contact us today to discuss your options with an experienced child custody lawyer.

How Much Parenting Time Are You Entitled To?

The rules governing child custody have changed recently in our area. In Champaign County, for instance, there is a new family law protocol that is very specific. Before securing a final judgment on custody, both parents must take parenting courses and participate in the "Children First" program in addition to participating in child custody mediation.

Custody may not necessarily break down to a 50/50 arrangement. In most cases, one parent will have physical custody with the other having visitation rights. When appropriate, we try to achieve joint custody, which allows both parents to have a significant role in raising their children.
