SEMINAR: Attorney Campbell Barrett Participates in Panel Discussion on Shared Legal Custody at AFCC/AAML Conference in Washington, D.C.

Panel Discussion: Shared Legal Custody: Should There be a Presumption?

Shared legal custody is often considered a "throw away" and many believe that courts only award sole legal custody when there are significant issues preventing one parent from acting in a child's best interest. However, in some jurisdictions, courts look at legal custody in greater depth, attempting to determine whether shared decision-making is truly in the best interest of the one child.

Campbell Barrett, chair of Pullman & Comley’s Family Law practice, participated in a panel that explored these issues and examined opinions about presumptions of joint legal custody, and whether constitutional issues arise if one party is awarded primary or sole legal custody.
