A Resourceful Attorney for Alpharetta, Georgia, Area Parents
Beyond the fundamental decision of where your children will live after divorce, there are many unique arrangements to meet each families needs. We encourage you to contact us for real help seeking a divorce outcome that keeps you closely involved with your children.
Family law attorney Shawna M. Woods takes a very active role in helping mothers and fathers seek their preferred child custody orders. She is equally adept at negotiating creative yet sound formal plans for visitation, also called parenting time.
Many factors may enter into any potential dispute over child visitation. We are proactive in our efforts to promote our clients' goals in light of the needs and future well-being of their children.
Finding Creative Solutions to Fit Your Family and Fulfill Your Personal Needs
Family Law has changed recently in Fulton County, Gwinnett County, and elsewhere in the Atlanta area. There is more flexibility and creativity in the creation of parenting plans and establishment of child custody and visitation orders. Reaching an agreement or prevailing in court now often depends much less on your gender than on having a well-prepared, justifiable and workable plan on how time and duties will be shared for the children's benefit.
"Co-parenting" in an amicable, collaborative way can be a challenge even for the best parents. However, most situations, we believe high levels of involvement by both parents are important. In helping you set parenting time goals and fulfill them, we:
- Frequently depart from the standard, "Schedule A" approach to visitation, helping our clients set plans that truly reflect their own schedules, capabilities and desires
- Look for creative ways to improve quality of contact with a non-custodial parent, from negotiating more overnight or extended visits to proposing frequent Web cam visits for distant parents
- Track the impact your visitation/parenting time schedule may have on other aspects of your divorce settlement, including child support or alimony orders
