| Child Custody – Minnesota
Divorce affects all children differently, but without question it can be a traumatic experience. It is easy to view the divorce as a win or lose battle, but this often puts children in the middle. It is important to understand that even though your marriage is ending, you are still both parents to your children.
Cost-Effective Child Custody Mediation and Evaluation
Jonathan Fogel at Fogel Family Law provides mediation and evaluation services that create an environment where parents and children can be successful. Taking time to carefully negotiate child custody is not only cost-effective, but it allows the parents, not the courts, to be the decision makers. Jonathan can help you mediate the different types of custody options, including Physical Custody and Legal Custody options, that will work for all parties involved.
The Best Interest of Your Child
In instances where an agreement cannot be made between parties, the decision-making factors differ to the Court. The Court must determine custody based on what is in the “best interest of the child.” In order to do so, the Court will analyze several factors, including—amongst other things—the reasonable preference of the child, the stability of their home life, and their relationship with their parents.
