How can a family lawyer help with child custody and access issues in a divorce case?

When going through a divorce, one of the most challenging aspects for parents is often dealing with child custody and access issues. It's important to seek legal advice from a family lawyer who can help you navigate this complex and emotional process. Below are some ways in which a family lawyer can assist you with child custody and access issues in a divorce case in Canada.

How to understand your legal rights?
A family lawyer can help you understand your legal rights and obligations when it comes to child custody and access. They can explain the different types of custody arrangements available in Canada and help you determine what is in the best interests of your child.

Can a family lawyer help you negotiate a custody agreement?
If you and your ex-spouse are able to work together, a family lawyer can help you negotiate a custody agreement that is fair and in the best interests of your child. They can help you draft the agreement, ensuring that it is legally binding and that your rights are protected.

​How can the representation of a family lawyer in court be beneficial to you?
If you and your ex-spouse are unable to come to an agreement on custody and access, a family lawyer can represent you in court. They can present evidence and arguments in support of your position and help you navigate the legal process. Having an experienced family lawyer on your side can be critical in achieving a positive outcome.

Modifying custody and access orders
If your circumstances change after a custody and access order is put in place, a family lawyer can help you seek a modification of the order. For example, if you or your ex-spouse needs to relocate, a family lawyer can help you seek a modification of your custody and access order to ensure that it remains in the best interests of your child.
