When a relationship or marriage ends and there is a minor child involved, I make every attempt to limit the emotional trauma he or she may experience during this process. In addition to working efficiently to reduce the time spent determining child custody and visitation, I make recommendations to trusted professionals such as therapists and child psychologists who can be helpful during difficult times.
Hampton Roads Visitation Rights Attorney Joseph C. Lindsey Represents Clients Throughout Virginia Who Have Custody Issues, Visitation Disputes and Modification of Agreement Needs
For more than 20 years, I have been qualified by the Virginia Supreme Court to serve as a guardian ad litem for children and incapacitated adults, so I have unique knowledge of what the courts are considering when ruling in contentious child custody cases. Joint custody and sole custody are awarded based on the best interests of the child, and although there are no specific laws used when making custody determinations, there are some typical issues that are considered, including:
- The age of the child
- The health of the child
- The wishes of the child
- The needs of the child
- The parental roles and involvement of each parent
- Each parent's financial and emotional stability
