Dedicated Representation in Child Custody Cases
The trend in child custody cases is for the judge to grant joint legal custody to both parents. That means that both parents will share responsibilities for major decisions about the child's life. Is this the right outcome for your child?
At the law firm of Joseph T. Barberi, P.C., we will take the time to get to know you. We will work with you to determine what the best child custody outcome for your family would be. Then we will work hard to make that outcome happen.

Two types of child custody will be looked at: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody refers to a parent's ability to make decisions about a child's religion, school, health care and other similar matters. Physical custody refers to where the child will live.
These two types of custody can be granted solely or jointly to parents. The court leans toward joint legal custody in most cases, which means that both parents will be involved in important decisions regarding the child's education and health care, for example.
