Child Custody Is a Vital Matter, But Not Complicated
Too much is at stake to make an uncomplicated matter more complicated than it needs to be. If joint child custody is not an option, then one parent will get sole custody and the other receives parenting time. Fighting a long legal battle over legal custody is often too costly to parents, as well as children. In the end, no matter what legal custody decision is made, both parents will teach their child how to behave in the world no matter who decides which school a child will attend or which doctor a child will see.
Focus on Peaceful Resolution and Your Children's Best Interests
At Johnston, Root & Leibenguth, P.C., our attorneys encourage clients to find resolution to child custody issues through the process of mediation. Air all of the issues you want and get them on the table first. If you can forge a custody agreement for your children, they will be better off over the long term.
Setting Examples for the Future
The time you spend with your children post-divorce will determine how your child functions as an adult. You are setting an example in your interactions with them and your ex-spouse. Do not let petty issues get in the way or set a poor example for your children. Your future is at stake. So is theirs.
