Do you need legal help in a custody battle?
Our lawyers can represent you and help in custody battles and all other matters concerning custody, childrens living arrangements and visitation rights after a divorce or separation.
A custody dispute is demanding for all parties and it is important to find the solution that is best for the children. If the parents are not married at the time of the child’s birth, the mother of the child gets sole custody of the child. Then you have to turn to the social welfare committee in the municipality to share custody of the child between the parents. If, on the other hand, the parents are married to each other before the child is born, custody of the child automatically becomes joint. And if the parents divorce or separate at a later date, joint custody continues.
If you and your ex end up in a custody dispute, you must first contact the family court in your municipality. There, you need to participate in an informational interview before starting a process in court. The purpose of the conversation is to try to reach a solution without having to go to court. Then you will have the opportunity to jointly find a solution that is good for the children and that works practically for you. But if you do not agree, you will instead receive a certificate of conversation from the family court. You use that as a basis when you take the custody dispute to court. In this way, you show that you have tried by all means to find a common solution, and that you now need the court’s help.

A court process regarding child custody can be stressful and time-consuming. Therefore, it is important that you hire a lawyer who guides and runs the process for you. There are different things the court looks at when trying to decide in a custody dispute. The absolute most important thing is always what is best for the children. If the children are old enough to be able to express their will, and also understand the consequences of the will, special consideration is given to that. And as long as the child does not get hurt with one of the parents, the court assumes that joint custody and alternating living is what is best for the child.
