How to deal with high conflict child custody

On Behalf of | Jun 7, 2017 | Uncategorized |

There is no denying the fact that the divorce process will be stressful. When you add in challenges associated with child custody, it’s easy to see why so many people struggle with putting this in the past.

In the event of a highly contested child custody case, you need to know your options and the strategies you can use to your advantage. While you want to do what is best for your child, this is never quite as simple as it sounds. Here are some things to think about:

— Psychological evaluation. You may need to request this as to determine if both parents are suited to care for the child.

— Guardian ad litem. This person is court appointed and staffed with the responsibility of representing the child throughout the divorce process. In short, he or she will advocate for the best interests of the child.

— Substance abuse evaluation. In some cases, it’s important to pinpoint if the other parent has a substance abuse problem.

At our law firm, we know that some child custody cases are more complex than others. While you hope for the best for your child, you may need to take particular steps to ensure that everything works out in the end.

If you are dealing with high conflict child custody, don’t hesitate to learn more about your situation and the steps you can take in the near future. When you consult with a family law attorney, you will feel better about your ability to make the right decisions at the right time.
