How to win your child custody case?
You might be
committed to winning the child
custody case. But you should know the dos and don’ts to win the battle.
Willingness to work with your ex
Few parents
have lost their child custody as a result of their exhibited reluctance to team
up with the other parent. So recollect that while you dislike your ex, the individual
in question is a part of your children's lives, and you have to demonstrate the
family court that you're willing to cooperate.
Exercise your parental rights
If you have
been granted visitation rights by the court make the utmost use of it. Make
sure you spend quality time with your kids in those hours, be it helping them
with their homework or playing indoor or outdoor games together or spending an
evening together.
Request for an in-home custody
evaluation
You can ask
for permission for an in-house custody evaluation if you are suspicious your ex
may portray a negative image about your home life to the court.
Perception matters
Perhaps the
hardest thing to get a handle on in a child
custody fight is the way that it doesn't generally make a difference if
what is being said about you is valid or not; what makes a difference is
whether the court accepts it to be valid. Do all that you can to introduce
yourself to the court as a skilled, competent and caring parent.This
incorporates landing on schedule, dressing for court, and exhibiting legitimate
court manners before the judge.
Gte yourself acquainted with family
law
Read about child
custody laws in your state. Gain enough information about it in advance so
that you would know what to expect in court.
Prepare relevant documentation
In the case
where you believe that your children won't be safe with the other parent due to
his/her history of physical and verbal abuse, you should collect and document
the relevant information about the interactions with your spouse as well as his
interations with the children. Remember though the other spouse may be
preparing the similar documentation about you to present before the court.
Refrain from talking negatively about
your ex in front of the kids
The kids are
innocent enough to understand the repercussions of a family battle. Keep the
negativity away from them. Instead, you can vent out your frustrations to a trusted
friend.
