Special Needs Children

Of all the matters discussed during a divorce or child custody case, the question of child conservatorship and possession is the most heart wrenching. The children can’t fathom why their parents cannot stay together. They might blame themselves for it. Inside the world of child custody and support, a more delicate and specific situation occurs when a child has special needs and disabilities. This issue requires the utmost care and empathy, which I can provide.

Whenever child custody and support comes up for discussion, the needs of children with disabilities should be given the highest attention. The court, the parents and the lawyers should ensure that special needs children can have a stable lifestyle even after the divorce or family separation. There are many issues involved like ensuring continued finance for medications, visits to the doctor, payment of medical costs and even transportation. Sometimes, the requirements of care for a child with a disability will require the primary care giver to spend almost all their time with the child.
