Myth!
Fact: When married parents are living apart and file for divorce, the court can award temporary residential parental rights to either parent – not just the one who was considered the primary caregiver before the separation. According to MSH Associate Brittany Gregorchik, who loves the practice of family law, the court will always rule in the best interest of the child.
Custody arrangements can be difficult, but having the support of a caring attorney can make it easier. If you have questions, MSH is here to help.
