Parenting Time and Visitation Law in Pennsylvania
Family Law Legal Help from a Firm Founded in 1951
Parenting time and visitation issues in family law disputes are, along with child custody issues, the most important issues faced by most divorcing and separating parents. Though you are likely committed to obtaining the best visitation arrangement for you and your children, a skilled child family law lawyer is often essential in making this possible.
At the Harrisburg and Millersburg law firm of Shaffer & Engle Law Offices, LLC our attorney team is highly experienced in family law legal issues, including child custody, parenting time and visitation. We:
- Have a combined 65 years of legal experience
- Have resolved a combined thousand-plus cases and disputes
- Include on our team an attorney who has worked both as prosecutor and a defender, and is who is highly skilled in building persuasive cases and presenting them in highly contested scenarios
While courts use the "best interests of the child" as the preeminent standard in determining parenting time and visitation arrangements, other factors can and will be considered, including:
- The historical involvement of parents in a child's upbringing
- Where the parties live, and how far apart
- Job schedules
- Each party's available time
- The special needs of a child. For instance, was an infant born prematurely? Does the child have development challenges? Does the child need special daily medical care?
- Parents' issues with crime, abuse, drugs and alcohol
We can work with you to investigate the facts of your situation and provide aggressive, comprehensive representation at each step in your parenting time, custody and visitation legal process.
