- Which holidays and events are most important to each parent;
- If there are safety concerns (domestic violence, addiction, etc.);
- Special needs or emotional needs of the child;
- Bonds between the child and each parent;
- Child's relationship with siblings or other family members;
- Child's need for predictability and stability;
- How well you and your spouse are able to cooperate; and
- Any other factors that may be important in your family's situation.
Helping Your Family with Custody and Placement Arrangements
In the state of Wisconsin, child custody cases involve the determination of custody and placement. Custody is the determination of how decisions are made about the child's life. Placement is where the child lives and how much time they spend with each parent. Parents are allowed to make these decisions through negotiations and often find it provides more flexibility in their parenting plan. However, litigation may be required to protect the child's best interests if parents disagree, there is a potential safety risk, or if wrongful allegations of neglect or abuse occur.
At Gimbel, Reilly, Guerin & Brown, LLP, we understand the complex and sensitive nature of child custody cases. As highly skilled criminal defense attorneys, we can even help if your child custody case turns into a criminal matter. Committed to protecting your interests, and the best interest of your child, our attorneys provide comprehensive and compassionate family law representation.
