Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, Child Custody Lawyers
You hear it all the time. One parent in a divorce got an unfair deal and the children were left to suffer. The truth is, the courts go to great lengths to ensure that the child's best interests are the priority in every child custody plan. The family law attorneys on both sides are charged with making sure the parents' rights are protected.
Let us help you protect yours.
Your final parenting plan should protect your children's rights…and yours
At Palmer | George, PLLC, our Kootenai County child custody attorneys have extensive experience in negotiation, mediation and litigation. We can help you develop a child custody and visitation plan that looks out for your children and protects your rights.
We work toward a fair child custody plan that works for your family
In Idaho, the courts want the parents to determine a child custody arrangement together. A judge only steps in if there is a mandate. Our attorneys will stand by your side through the child custody mediation process. Determining the future of your children is emotional, but we will help you keep an objective perspective, so you will develop a plan that protects your rights and is in the best interests of your children.
Once you create a child custody plan, we can help you understand how it will affect your child support and visitation plans.
Child Support
Child support is almost always determined by the regulations of the Idaho Supreme Court. It is based on a formula that takes into account the standard of living of both parents. Considering combined income, overnights, insurance, and tax exemptions, the parents and court will come to a consensus as to child support. If there has been a major change in the financial situation of you or your former spouse, we can help you apply for a modification.
We offer a complete range of Idaho divorce and family law litigation and mediation services involving children:
- Physical custody (where the child lives) and legal custody (who makes major decisions for the child)
