Strategizing to Win - Factors that May Influence Your Case
As a former marine, our attorney will help you set a powerful battle plan. He knows a number of factors may come into play during your divorce case including:
- Custody evaluation is sometimes used in a divorce case. It is costly, with no guaranteed result. It consists of psychological exams of both parents as well as the child in some instances. A psychologist will prepare an opinion stating what is best for the child.
- Guardian ad litems may be appointed to investigate your custodial case. They may prove influential in temporary matters, but not necessarily in long term plans.
- Temporary hearings determine temporary custody among other things. They can be an indicator of final custody results, although not always. They may help signify how to best proceed with your case. Winning the temporary hearing may help to shorten your case, as the same judge presides throughout.
- Witnesses are very important to your case. For a temporary hearing, they submit written affidavits. For the trial portion, they must appear personally. Determination of custody is a fact based process. Witnesses will make the difference in the case 99% of the time.
- Child support is controlled by state guidelines. A formulated amount is established based on the incomes of both parents. Most judges adhere strictly to the guidelines.
- Protection orders come into play when there is an allegation of abuse. Domestic violence allegations often run rampant in contested custody cases. Some parents feel making such allegations provides an advantage.
