Child Custody and Alimony

Connecticut Support and Child Custody Lawyer

At the core of any divorce, two primary concerns tend to prevail: where the children will live, and how much money will be paid or received for child support and alimony (spousal support). The issues of money and custodial arrangements can often generate conflict.

The Law Office of Douglas J. Wells, located in Greenwich, Connecticut, provides clear guidance to individuals who are attempting to navigate through the complexities involved with custody, support, and visitation issues. Contact me today for assistance that is caring, compassionate, and effective.

Child Custody

There is often confusion over the terms associated with custody: legal, joint, sole, and physical. Knowing the distinctions is the first step to understanding and creating a plan that is beneficial for you and your children. I work with clients to help parents reach a consensus on matters related to education, medical decisions, and religious preferences.

Parenting Plans

Flexibility is often at the center of parental concerns over custody and visitation. Will a schedule be imposed upon me? Can my spouse and I continue to be flexible with visitation times? Will I be able to take my children on a vacation? Will I be able to move out-of-state with my children after a divorce? At the Law Office of Douglas J. Wells, I provide answers to your questions, encouraging the communication and cooperation of both parents.

Alimony

Working with an attorney to help you determine spousal support is essential for the protection of your interests, whether you are the primary breadwinner or the intended recipient. I familiarize my clients with state guidelines for determining support and work to generate a family support plan in a tax-advantaged way.
