Child Custody & Visitation

Wheaton, Illinois, Child Custody and Visitation Lawyer

Determining the Best Interests of Your Child

One of the most important things to your family is the custody of your children. Being able to have a say in the upbringing of your child is what is at stake in a custody dispute. You deserve to have a voice in your child's education, healthcare, and living arrangements. Contact the Law Offices of Salvatore C. Miglore and Associates, in Wheaton, Illinois, to learn more about the child custody.

Courts favor having both parents involved in the life of child. Fostering an environment where both parents can sit down and determine what is best for their child is the goal of courts today. Attorney Miglore will advise you about this fact and encourage you to work with your spouse to create a parenting plan.

Illinois Child Custody and Parenting Plans

The majority of custody and visitation decisions are amicably made by both parents. Sitting down and figuring out schedules and plans for raising a child is often in that child's best interests.

When decisions about child custody are not resolved so easily, families need to speak to us. The courts make a custody ruling based on the best interests of your child. We will employ experts to make a case for granting you joint or sole custody. Sole custody is generally not awarded absent a showing lack of best interests of the children. We discourage custody disputes because they are costly and often leave families torn.

Grandparents' Rights in Illinois

Illinois recently enacted a law giving grandparents a legal right to visitation. In order to get a visitation agreement, a grandparent must show basically two things. They must prove that this is a situation of death or divorce, and grandparent visitation is in the best interests of the child. Courts prefer not to get involved in parental decisions. They want all parties to agree amicably about a parenting plan.
