The Role of the Guardian Ad Litem in Child Custody and Visitation
A guardian ad litem (GAL) provides advocacy for the child or children in child custody and visitation proceedings. The courts consistently make custody decisions in the best interests of the child. The GAL provides additional advocacy for the child to ensure this is upheld. If you are involved in a particularly difficult child custody dispute, the GAL can be the strongest advocate for your child.
Child custody and visitation determinations can be expensive, time-consuming and emotionally draining. An attorney from our firm can guide you through the process as well as educate you about the advantages and disadvantages of the difficulties you are facing.
The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA)
The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA) considers the child's home state as where the child has lived with a parent for the past six months. UCCJEA issues often arise in South Carolina child-parent relocation cases. If you are considering relocating, or if the other parent has made a request to relocate with the children, our law firm can seamlessly work through these issues and arrive at the most favorable outcome for you.
Modifications
A family court lawyer from our law firm can help you no matter what side of the request you are on. We help parents who are seeking modifications to an existing child custody agreement and those who wish to contest the modification. As your attorneys, we will consistently consider the best interests of the child or children as we seek the outcome that protects your parental rights. Modifications are granted when there has been a significant change in material condition. Examples of this include relocation, increase in income, decrease in income and remarriage.
Enforcement
Our attorneys also handle enforcement issues. If the other parent is not complying with court orders, or if you have been accused of not following court orders, talk to us and learn your options.
