Utah Child Custody and Visitation Lawyer
Child custody and visitation, also referred to as parenting time, in Utah is rightly focused on ensuring the welfare of the children involved. The court looks at many different factors when making its determination as to what is in the best interests of the child concerning awarding joint legal custody, custody to one parent and parenting time to the other or some other parenting arrangement.
At the Salt Lake City, Utah, office of David R. Hartwig, Esq., I work hard to ensure that your parental rights are respected and that the best interests of your children are served. Except in cases where there is a history of abuse or other unsafe conditions, I believe that parents should have the opportunity to built strong, loving relationships with their children. I will work with you to understand your child custody goals and do everything I can to help you reach them.
Protecting Your Interests
Even in cases where a child is born to unwed parents, both parents have the right to a meaningful relationship with the child. If paternity is an issue, I can help to request paternity tests that will determine without a doubt who the child's father is and who has a right to custody and visitation.
As a sole practitioner, I handle every aspect of your case myself so you can rest assured that your case is being handled in a competent and professional manner. I provide personalized service to every client and return phone calls promptly. From finalizing the original agreement to making any changes later, you can count on me to be with you throughout the process.
Modification of Child Custody and Visitation Arrangements
Life rarely stands still and changes in your life can require modifications to your existing child custody and visitation arrangements. Relocation for a job opportunity or a new marriage can change the circumstances that helped formulate the original judgment. I have extensive experience dealing both with modification and enforcement of existing child custody and visitation judgments.
