Even when families split and parents go from being married to being co-parents who no longer share a home, there is still a magnitude of decisions to be made together. While the bulk of these decisions and responsibilities pertaining to where a child lives are handled efficiently and without dispute, some decisions and conflict about residential responsibilities may not be so easily handled. When there is a snag or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/staging8.dynaserverx.com\/malonislawoffice.com\/parental-rights-disputes\/\">dispute<\/a>\u00a0pertaining to decisions regarding the child,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/staging8.dynaserverx.com\/malonislawoffice.com\/decision-making-residential-responsibility\/\">family law attorney<\/a>\u00a0George C.

Malonis can help you navigate a wide variety of decisions that need resolution and also help guide you through what your legal rights may be in regards to your child. The issues of health care and education can have a massive impact on a child and a parent may have very strong leanings or opinions when it comes to these issues. With a skilled negotiator by your side, your opinions can be fully expressed and presented to the other side clearly. Also, participation and attempts to stay active in a child\u2019s day to day life may be easier said than done if there is a strained relationship with the other parent. The law firm of George C. Malonis can help ensure your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/staging8.dynaserverx.com\/malonislawoffice.com\/parental-rights-disputes\/\">parental rights<\/a>\u00a0and access to your child is upheld and honored despite any contention with the other parent. Details of visitation, such as transportation needs or varying schedules, can also be a sticking point where parents may need legal counsel or guidance to resolve. George C.
