Protecting What Matters Most
Protecting What Matters Most
When creating a joint custody arrangement, it is important to educate the client on the many characteristics that affect the likelihood of the arrangement’s success—the first of which is geographic proximity. Shared custody arrangements usually work best when parents live close together, as it facilitates an equal possession schedule.
Additionally, communication has a great impact on joint custody. Parents who are able to communicate well can prevent or reduce conflict, especially in front of the children, and can focus on making decisions that are in the children’s best interest.
Those parents who offer to share responsibility for such tasks as providing transportation to medical appointments or attending parent-teacher conferences, and share information from those activities with the other parent, are more likely to be involved in successful custody arrangements than those who try to seize the opportunity to use their involvement in such tasks at a presumptive litigation factor.

I had a great experience working with Jimmy Evans on my divorce case. He provided excellent counsel and always focused on getting me the best results. He was accommodating and made sure I understood each step of the process. His paralegal, Dina, was also wonderful! She kept communication clear and timely, and I could always count on her for quick updates and answers. The firm as a whole was efficient, professional, and supportive, which made a difficult process much easier to navigate. I highly recommend Jimmy Evans and his team.
