The Firm's Child Custody and Visitation Practice
Attorney Siebrecht helps clients develop and put in place custody and visitation plans that are in the best interest of their minor children while protecting their rights as a parent. She has a comprehensive understanding of the factors the court considers when determining custody, including:
- the characteristics of each child and of the parents
- the needs of the child
- the interpersonal relationships between the child and parents or siblings
- the capacity of each parent to provide for the emotional, social, moral, material and educational needs of the child, as well their interest in doing so
- the effect of continuing or changing an existing custody arrangement on the child
- the nature of the proposed environment
- the preference of the child (if of sufficient age and maturity)
- the recommendation of the attorney or of an independent investigator
Because of her experience, attorney Siebrecht understands that the court will seek a solution that allows the child to spend time with both parents. Her goal in custody and visitation matters is to help you get as much parenting time as possible, whether through physical custody or visitation.
Attorney Siebrecht also handles post-judgment requests for modification or enforcement of existing custody and visitation orders. Modification requests often result when there is a substantial change in circumstances not anticipated by the court at the time the original order was handed down. For example, one parent may wish (or be required) to move for a job, there may be drug abuse, or health issues may affect the ability to parent.
The Siebrecht Law Firm can also help you if there has been a parental kidnapping. Attorney Siebrecht can get the police involved immediately, so that your children can be found in a timely manner.
