Keep Your Sanity and Win Child Custody

Assessing Your Situation What are your chances vs. the other parent of getting custody of your child (children)? Is it reasonable for you to ask for full custody or joint custody? What role did you have with your child when you and the other parent were still together? Who was the primary caregiver when you were together? Who was responsible for discipline? Who was responsible for school and other activities? Who put the children to bed at night and got them up in the morning? Determine what is in your child's best interest. The first thing to remember when you are determining the best interest of your child is that the court will have an entirely different idea and definition of this.

Child custody evaluations are used in a large percentage of custody cases. Either the court will order an evaluation, or one or both parents will petition the court for the evaluation. Evaluations may include some of the following. The wishes of the children (with the appropriate age child). The interaction and relationship of the child with his/her parent or parents, his siblings and any other person who may significantly affect the child's best interest. The physical and mental health of all individuals involved.

The willingness and ability of each parent to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing relationship between the other parent and the child. Selecting an attorney is very critical in any child custody case. Please do not overlook this step. One of the biggest mistakes is just randomly choosing one out of the phone book.
