Child Custody Mistakes You Need to Avoid

Posted By Law Office of Kathryn Marteeny || 9-Feb-2021

Child custody matters are some of the most sensitive any family will face. Given the emotional nature of such cases, it is easy for emotions to get the best of anyone, which is often how mistakes are made. To avoid making a costly mistake, it is essential to hire an experienced attorney to handle your case. Additionally, it would also be helpful to learn more about the most common mistakes you should avoid while in the middle of a child custody dispute.

Avoiding the Most Common Missteps

Every parent wants what is best for their children, but the fact is divorce can get messy, especially with tensions running so high.

Here is a list of some common child custody errors you should avoid:

  • Turning it into a battle: Child custody disputes do not have to turn into a nasty battle. It is in the best interests of your children that you do everything possible to keep it amicable. Not only will this be easier on your children, but it will be less time-consuming and less expensive.
  • Not complying with temporary court orders: A divorce can take time, so it is not uncommon for courts to issue temporary child custody and support orders. It is essential that you comply with them. Otherwise, you can face some harsh consequences and it will likely jeopardize your chances of obtaining a more favorable custody arrangement.
  • Refusing to cooperate with your spouse: You may be angry with your spouse, but it is important to cooperate, despite your resentments or issues. It is important for both parents to support one another’s relationship with the children and failing to do so will not look good in court.
  • Speaking negatively about your spouse: If you want to speak negatively about your spouse, it should not be done anywhere near your children or on social media. Instead, vent to a trusted friend or family member when your children are not around or consider hiring a therapist.

Child custody disputes can take a toll on a family, so make it easier on yourself by avoiding these mistakes.
