How Child Custody Lawyers Can Help Men?

by William Deraad Deraad Law Firm
Divorce is a testing time for both the husband and wife, and the situation becomes even more complicated when it is the question of deciding on the custody of children. However, the earlier rule was to hand over the custody of a child to the mother, but that may not be a very wise call nowadays when so many women are working as well. So, if you are a man involved in a child custody case, you can take help of a child custody lawyer.

Child custody is a term used to describe the financial custody given to one parent for bringing up the child, in the event when both the parents are separated. Law makes it mandatory for both the parents to look after the child; so the one who takes the child custody, gets child custody from the other. Read on to know how child custody lawyers in Rio Rancho can help the male counterparts in a child custody case. Some of the vital aspects that the lawyer would look into are:

1.    Check Accountability Of All Sources Of Income

The first one is accountability of all sources of income that would be used for the child custody purposes. Every state has a broad definition of the various sources of funds that can be used as income by the parents. An attorney will see to it that your income is based on the sources of funds as described by your state.

2.    Helps To Get Fair Treatment

Child custody cases can be quite difficult, more so for men. This is due to the conventional norms of handing over a child’s custody to the mother. Thus, an attorney can help and see to it that men are given a fair treatment too.

3.    Keep Tab on Claiming Deductions

As a man, you will be allowed to give certain percentage of your income to the mother in case she is going to receive custody of the child. In such an event, you would want that she does not claim anything extra or adds unnecessarily to your expenses. For this, you could seek help from a lawyer. Through legal help, you can keep eye on whether or not your wife is claiming deductions from your income that she is actually not entitled too.

On the other context, if you as a father are going to take custody of your child; you are entitled to receive child custody from your wife. In case she is not doing that, you can always look for a legal recourse and seek the appropriate child custody.
