This is a true story about the love of a single dad and how the current economic crisis has affected just one family in America. There are many families out there facing similar problems.

Some of those are also struggling with more pressing issues than this family. And some others have just given up and turned to welfare to sustain them. Some have turned to crime. Some are still trying to make it without depending on the Government, they still believe that America became great because we, as a Nation, worked to achieve greatness. Sam (all names have been changed), believes in his heart that he should be the master of his destiny. He believes that he should be working and providing for himself and his family, Since he was in his teens, Sam had always had a job. Now, for the past year, he has been looking for a way to support his family. Sam is a single parent.

Not every parent is granted primary physical custody or determines that retaining physical custody is in their child’s best interest.  If you are not awarded physical custody or determine that it is in your child’s best interest that he or she should live with their mother the majority of time, there are still issues you need to consider in setting your visitation time with your child.  Remember you want to maximize the time you do spend with your child.

First, I have had numerous clients tell me that the parties have agreed to just decide as they go as to the schedule. Dad will see the child whenever he likes.  Or mom will let me see him on my off days.  The parties are getting along now and they do not think scheduling visitation will be a problem so there is no need for a schedule.  I always advise them that a  “fall-back” schedule is needed.
