Families facing divorce often find decisions regarding child custody and religion challenging. At Johnson/Turner, we guide our clients through these complex issues. We blend empathy with legal expertise to offer personalized solutions. Understanding each family’s unique religious background, we navigate these sensitive matters with care.

Joint Legal Custody and Religious Decisions

During a separation, deciding a child’s religious upbringing becomes a priority. Courts commonly award joint legal custody. This arrangement allows parents to collaboratively decide on significant matters, including religion. It’s essential for parents to work together, prioritizing their child’s welfare and stability.

Freedom and Responsibility in Religion

With joint custody in religion, parents maintain their decision-making rights. They’re free to share their beliefs during their parenting time. However, this freedom comes with the responsibility to avoid conflicts. Parents must communicate effectively, ensuring their child’s experience is consistent and nurturing.

Seeking Sole Decision-Making

In some cases, a parent might seek sole authority over religious upbringing. The courts then consider the family’s religious history and the impact on the child. Their ruling focuses on what’s best for the child, not just the desires of either parent.
