Working out parenting time in Arizona

On Behalf of | Dec 8, 2022 | Child Custody, Divorce, Family Law

If you were married and the marriage didn’t work out after some years together, that is sad. When you first married, you probably figured that the marriage would last forever. Of course, things that you could not necessarily anticipate happen in life sometimes and you find yourself in a new situation. It can become even more complicated if there is a child involved. In that case, you and your spouse must work out child support and custody and another important aspect of your divorced life: parenting time with your child.

When you all lived together as a family, things were simpler. The time that you and your spouse spent with your child (whether together or separately) was natural and most likely easy. Now you find yourself in a totally new situation in which you need to juggle schedules and make a greater effort to fit in the parenting time with your child, which is a top priority.

Coming to a reasonable agreement

The best-case scenario is that you and your spouse have an amicable relationship and you can come to an agreement on parenting time together without any negative feelings. However, that is not always the way it goes. When it comes to divorce, there are often a lot of negative feelings on both sides that bubble to the surface and become obstacles in the way of coming to an agreement easily.

With that said, however, the most important person in any similar situation is your child and their best interests must be at the top of the priority list. The main thing is that your child has two parents and they need and deserve to have strong, healthy relationships with both of them. The child also needs consistency and stability to grow up happy and well adjusted.

Solid legal advice from a knowledgeable Arizona family law attorney

If you are in the middle of trying to figure out with your spouse how to hammer out a parenting time agreement that works for you and your ex-spouse as well as for your child, the advice of an experienced family law attorney may make your situation much easier to deal with and the outcome may be much smoother than it would be if you tried to handle it on your own. No matter what, going through a divorce is bound to take a toll on everyone involved. However, if you get the legal support that you need, the process may not be so painful and you may come to a resolution before you know it.
