At the Law Office of James R Jones Jr, P.A., you will work with a compassionate custody lawyer in Hernando County, FL, that acts in your best interest. Of course, there are certain criteria that have to be met before a court can make any decision regarding custody.
According to the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, which is recognized in every state except Massachusetts and Vermont, one of three conditions must be met before a court can alter an existing custody decision:
- The Court Is in the Child’s Home State
- The Court Is in a State in which the Child Has Ties to Living Individuals
- The Court Is in a State in which the Child Is Residing for Safety
If you are unsure whether your situation meets any of these descriptions, reach out to custody lawyer James R Jones Jr. There is no better advocate to have in your corner, especially when it comes to something as important as your child’s custody. Let Mr. Jones guide you to the best possible outcome for your custody situation, whether it’s here in Florida or between states.
