Child Custody Law
Child custody is perhaps the most important issue for parties in a divorce. However, the term "custody" is often mistaken to mean "exclusive custody". A parent who is named in a parenting plan as the custodial parent is simply the parent with whom the child(ren) reside the majority of the time. The non-custodial parent retains his or her rights under the parenting plan, including visitation and decision making, regardless of custodial designations. The importance of the custodial designation can be further explained by a competent Seattle family law attorney or child custody attorney.
