A custody or parenting time agreement is a legal document that defines what type of custody is in place and outlines how a child’s time is distributed between parents. Parents can agree on whatever type of custody arrangement they like as long as it puts the child’s best interests first.

Often, custody agreements include:
➡️ How much time a child spends living with each parent/guardian.
➡️ A procedure for dealing with and avoiding conflict that may arise.
➡️ Which holidays and special occasions the child will spend with which parent.
➡️ How often each parent is expected to have contact with the child via telephone, email, or any preferred form of communication.
➡️ How the child will be transported between the parents’ homes.

Custody agreements and court orders pertaining to custody may always be changed if there is material change of circumstances. Either parent can file for adjustments to the custody plan at any time and will need to prove that a material change has occurred which merits a change in the arrangement.

If you need to file for adjustments to your custody plan, you need the right lawyers by your side. Contact Thomas & Associates today!

Most commonly, separated couples settle on an agreement where they both have Parenting Time arrangements in place where they exclusively parent their child. Historically, the words custody were employed and we use them and the new phrases as follows: The different parenting arrangements or different custody arrangements have included:

➡️ Sole Custody, or Primary Care:
When a child lives with one parent (or guardian) all or most of the time and that parent may have the ability to make all decisions regarding the child.

➡️ Joint Custody or Shared Parenting Arrangements:
The child can reside a set amount of time with each parent or primarily with one parent, but both parents have an equal say in decisions that affect the child and take equal responsibility for the child’s safety and wellbeing.

➡️ Shared Custody:
A type of joint custody or shared parenting time arrangements where the child spends at least 40% of the time living with each parent.

➡️ Split Custody:
When a couple has multiple children and one or some of the children reside with one parent primarily while the other child or children live with the other parent.

Wondering how to obtain the right custody agreement for your children? Speak with Thomas & Associates today!

The terms child custody and access have effectively changed to parenting time arrangements. However, many people still think of custody and access when they think of parenting arrangements. In that regard, custody refers to the day-to-day care of a child and with whom the child resides. A parent who has a child equal to or more than 60% of the time will likely be referred to as the primary caregiver. Parents can share parenting time by a variety of parent time arrangements, including 50-50. Normally even 45-55% parent time arrangements are treated as essentially equal.

The determination of what is best the child or the children drives not just parenting time arrangements but all aspects of the child’s life including prospective life decisions such as the following:

➡️ Where after separation the child will live and with whom;
➡️ Will a move away from the current home be required:
➡️ Religous and cultural upbringing;
➡️ What school the child will attend, and where;
➡️ What activities the child will take part in;
➡️ Who will apply for and keep the children’s passports;

Parenting time arrangements are different than guardianship. Guardianship represents a bundle of rights and obligations that each parent has to the children and to the other parent. A general proposition is that each parent has the obligation to apply the best interests requirement to decisions that they make regarding the children, and they also have the obligation to keep the other parent in the loop so the each parent can assist with proper decision-making.

We specialize in family law and have extensive experience dealing with custody agreements and disputes. At Thomas & Associates, we know how important your family is and, we do everything possible to ensure that the child’s wellbeing is put first. Get in touch today!
