A Personal Approach When You Need It Most

Naples Attorneys for Children’s Issues in Divorce

Caring for Children in a Divorce

A common reason many people struggle to make the decision whether or not to divorce is the impact it will have on young children. Most parents want to spare their children the emotional turmoil of seeing their parents end their marriage. As difficult as it is, divorce is the right decision in many cases.

However, putting children in the middle of disputes regarding custody or any other issue is never the right thing to do. Even if you and your child's other parent disagree about custody, a parenting plan, or other aspects of your divorce, it is unwise to involve young children in that disagreement.

At Long, Murphy & Shemkus, P.A., our Naples lawyers help clients navigate the difficult decisions that must be resolved regarding the care and support of children following divorce or the end of a nonmarital relationship. We also assist parents when a life change requires relocating far enough away that adhering to an existing time-sharing plan becomes impossible, or when a significant life change requires a modification to an existing order, such as child support or custody.
