During a divorce or legal separation, you need an attorney you can trust to advocate for you and your child. O’Loane Law Firm develops and modifies parenting plans to meet your family’s unique needs.
When undergoing a divorce or legal separation, a parenting plan should be established. This plan will address the days and times your children will be with you, how decisions will be made, and how future disputes about the plan will be resolved.
At O’Loane Law Firm, we incorporate the facts of your unique situation with the requirements of Washington state law to develop a parenting plan that reflects your family’s needs.
We thoroughly prepare our clients on how to interact with collateral investigators (if necessary), and appropriately engage with the other parent to achieve the best possible outcome.
In situations where a parent is unable to care for their child due to mental illness, addiction, or other personal issues, a relative or close family friend may desire to or may have already stepped into the child’s life as a primary care provider.
If you find yourself in this position or are contemplating pursuing non-parental custody, you need a seasoned family law attorney at your side. O’Loane Law Firm has helped many children and their non-parental guardians navigate the legal system and achieve the best outcome possible.
When reviewing a parenting plan, the Washington state courts consider what is defined as the “best interest of the child.” Contrary to the commonly held belief that Washington is a “mother’s state,” the commissioner or judge is required to determine if the mother or the father should be the primary residential parent based on certain criteria.
During your hearing, your parenting plan will either be accepted or rejected. If you need to develop or modify a parenting plan, book a call with the O’Loane Law Firm to discuss your options.
