Parenting Issues
Here the preference is given to the agreed decision of both parties concerning joint or sole custody. In the contested case the court will make a decision and determine the residential arrangements as well as what role each parent will play in the decision-making regarding a child.
All the decisions will be made according to the best interests of the child, including his or her bond with parents, adjustments to home, school and the community as well as the ability and willingness of a custodial parent to encourage frequent and meaningful contact with the other parent.
If necessary, the court may appoint participation in a “Parenting Education Course” for all children of the marriage younger than 17.
Child Support
Usually the guidelines for calculating child support work in almost every case. Both parents’ gross incomes are calculated as well as child-related expenses. When the child comes of age the support stops; however, it may be prolonged until high school graduation.
Filing Fees
Remember to ask your county’s court officer about filing fees, since our fee excludes court filing fees — which differ from county to county.
