Description

Joint custody and parental responsibility

What does „joint custody” mean?”

The term often used describes, as a rule, the joint exercise of parental authority. After divorce, this is the legal rule, with the exceptions established by the court under the law. It does not constitute a reward for one parent and is not automatically lost due to a conflict or the choice of the lawyer.

What we check in your case

Existing decisions and agreements, including the interim ones.
Decisions on which the parents do not agree: education, health or other relevant issues.
The child's situation and evidence regarding care and any risks.
The need for a new request or a change in the measures if the circumstances have changed.

Authority, residence and visiting schedule

Joint exercise of authority does not automatically require alternating housing and does not determine the schedule of personal contacts on its own. For a change of housing or for the schedule, there are separate checks and requests. We determine which measure best addresses the real problem before choosing the title of the request.

Useful documents

Full decisions, civil status documents, written agreements and relevant correspondence regarding the child. Mention if there are procedures in another state or protective measures. Keep the evidence in its original form and avoid involving the child in collecting it.

Frequently asked questions

Can I request that the authority be exercised only by me?

Such a request requires sound reasons and an analysis of the child's best interest. The mere disagreement between parents does not provide an automatic solution.

The parent with whom the child does not live loses all their rights?

Residence and the exercise of authority are separate matters. Rights and obligations are determined by law and by the measures ordered.

Can the previous decision be changed?

We evaluate the new circumstances, the evidence and the object of the request. The existence of a grievance does not justify the change in the measures alone.
