How Does Child Custody of Same-Sex Parents Work in Raleigh?

In Raleigh, child custody cases for same-sex parents work just the same as those of straight couples. First of all, the parents who are getting the divorce need to figure out an arrangement for child custody as best as they can before involving a judge.

These arrangements should never be a cookie-cutter formula but need to directly discuss what each child needs in the present as well as in the future. Such arrangements would not only need to include the basic living plan of where the child would be staying, but also the effects upon that child’s health, education, medical care proximity, religious training, extracurriculars, social activities, and sports training.

If the parents are having difficulty deciding the layout and extent of custody, or who will have physical custody and who will have legal custody, it is time to get the court system involved, so it can carefully decide the breakdown of the custody arrangement.

Factors That Must Be Settled by Child Custody Arrangements

It can be challenging trying to make a plan that benefits all parties involved in a child custody case. Thankfully, our skilled Raleigh child custody lawyer have much experience with these kinds of cases.

Some of the issues which we can help you address include:

  • Reducing major changes or issues of discomfort in the child’s life
  • Making sure that all of the child’s needs for medicine, nutrition, and general health are taken care of
