Child Custody Lawyers – Birmingham, AL

All divorces have the potential to be emotionally difficult to navigate. This is particularly true when children are involved. Most people want to spend as much time as possible with their kids and for some couples, it is the children who kept the marriage together. At Lloyd & Hogan in Birmingham, we understand the importance of working with a child custody lawyer as establishing custody can be difficult.

Creating A Custody Arrangement

When possible, parents can create their own arrangements regarding child custody. There are times, however, when a court must step in. If a couple cannot reach an agreement, the laws in Alabama generally favor joint custody. Ultimately, however, the best interest of the children will be taken into consideration.

The court looks at multiple factors when determining what is in the best interest of the child. They include:

• Which parent is best situated to care for the child
• Who can provide the most consistency
• The child’s relationship with siblings
• The wishes of the child
