Agreements
Certainly, the family courts in Western

an agreement on custody and visitation
through effective negotiations or useful
mediation. From experience, we can
confidently advise you that it is always better
for a parent to come up with a solution than a
judge.

Factors A Court Considers.
Court's look at the location of each parent's
home, the role of each parent as caregiver in
the past; schools; finances; and for older
children, the preferences of the child. There
are approximately 15 social and economic
factors that the courts may consider in making
a custody determination. Our lawyers will
serve your needs by reviewing and weighing
the importance of each factor in your case.
Often we are able to help you design a plan
that is reasonable and agreeable to both
parties. When it is necessary to protect your

The Extended Family
A child custody battle may extend beyond the
parents and involve grandparents or other
extended family members. In some instances,
a child will be left with a relative. In certain
instances, (the non-parent was voluntarily
given the child and had custody for more than
12 months), then the person having temporary
custody can stand in place of the parent(s) in
loco parentis. If a subsequent custody case
should arise, these factors are important to
know and present to the court. In other cases,
grandparents may be seeking visitation
privileges. A child may grow a close and
important relationship with a grandparent,
which can be upset by others who seek to
disrupt relationships that are important to the
child. Our Pittsburgh lawyers assit families in
all areas of custody disputes. Call Today!
