There is no doubt that custody in early childhood is a particularly complex and sensitive area. Under the tender years presumption, custody of a child under the age of 6 is generally given to the mother. In recent years, however, more and more courts have been willing to order joint custody even for young children, when that is what serves the child’s best interests. Custody in early childhood is an area that has gone through many changes in Israel, and in any case it is important and recommended to work with a lawyer who specializes in the field, so you receive guidance and advice throughout the entire process. Avital Horef Law Firm is a boutique firm with many years of experience, a strong reputation, and extensive knowledge of family law. Today the firm is proud to lead in its field and to serve a wide range of clients, with an emphasis on parenting time in early childhood, joint custody, and more.
What is joint custody?
Joint custody is a legal arrangement between the two parents that defines how time with the children is divided between them. Unlike parenting time arrangements in early childhood, joint custody means both parents share the day-to-day care of the children more or less equally. There is no doubt that this is a sensitive issue for both sides, so guidance from a professional who specializes in the field can make the whole process shorter, more efficient, and more correct. The basic condition for a good outcome is the agreement of both parents, even after the separation. Another essential condition is communication between the two parties. When parents manage to maintain proper and respectful communication, the process is shorter and more pleasant, and it also becomes possible to avoid cumbersome and lengthy legal proceedings. Reality, however, is often more complex, and differences of opinion between parents are common, which is exactly when a specialized lawyer should be brought in as early as possible. A professional can help you reach an agreement with a minimum of argument and effort.
Only a professional firm specializing in family law
As noted, choosing a law firm that focuses on family law is genuinely important. Do not compromise on quality, experience, professionalism, or reputation. Read reviews and recommendations from current and past clients in order to form your own opinion. A short, broad market survey can also help a great deal, so that at the end of the process you choose the most reliable and capable firm, one that will help you achieve the best result. Avital Horef Law Firm is proud of its many years of experience and its reputation, which allow the firm to give each client the most professional and effective service.
