Allocation of Parental Responsibilities (Custody).  In the most raw sense, a divorce is the process of ending a legal relationship with someone, buttressed by Court Orders dictating who gets what, and who pays who.  When a divorce involves spouses with mutual children, any divorce action necessarily includes an allocation of parental responsibilities.  When non-spouses have mutual children and a disagreement arises, they avoid the raw divorce process, but must still endure an action involving the Allocation of Parental Responsibilities.  The Allocation of Parental Responsibilities will dictate parenting time, decision making authority, child support, and many other seemingly small issues that, if neglected, can disrupt the lives of your children in ways that are avoidable.  Again, we represent initiating and non-initiating parties.
