What Is in the Child's Best Interest?

The state of Arkansas and the court will determine child custody based on what they determine is in your child's "best interest" if you and your former spouse cannot come to an agreement. It is nearly always a good idea to find an agreement rather than taking the risk that a judge may rule in a way that would be unacceptable to you.

At The Henry Firm, P.A., we will act as your advocate in child custody matters, including child custody determinations, parenting plans or visitation agreements, and child support determinations.

For any family law issues including divorce and a child custody dispute, please contact our Little Rock child custody lawyer either by e-mail or by calling 866-533-0553 or 501-859-6170.

Arkansas Parenting Plan Attorney and Child Custody Lawyer

In Arkansas there is typically a primary custodial parent, even though both parents equally share legal custody or legal decision making. If the parents each want primary custody, the court will typically give primary custody to one parent rather than split the physical custody between the two parents.

Our law firm has experience and would be pleased to help you with any of the following child custody related matters:

  • Child support determinations according to the Arkansas child support formula
  • Development of a parenting plan or visitation agreement
  • Modifications of child custody, visitation plans or child support determinations
  • Enforcement of child support payment orders

"I play by the rules. If my client is being unreasonable, I will say so. If someone is trying to take advantage of my client, I will stick my neck out to make sure their interests are being protected." — Attorney Matthew Henry

Divorce and Joint Custody

Divorce is difficult enough without excessive legal maneuvers and other drama related to child custody. At our law firm, we work toward developing a joint custody agreement whenever possible and work toward the following goals:

  • Quick and efficient resolutions
  • Straightforward advice
  • Diligent preparation for trial
  • Courtesy in the courtroom
  • Tenacious advocacy at all times
