What are my parental rights?
In a divorce or paternity case, your parental rights are governed by statute which is the Best Interest of the Child Statute. In most cases, there is joint legal custody, with one parent having physical custody, or there is shared physical custody. Your parental rights include being actively involved in decision making regarding issues affecting health and welfare of your child or children, including school related issues, economic issues, health issues, religious issues, and items such as extra-curricular activities. We are glad to advise you and answer specific questions as every situation is different.
