Making child custody decisions.


If you're facing separation or divorce and have minor children, working out a good custody arrangement is likely your top concern. Here's some information that can help:
 
- Seek counselling first. Social service agencies, churches, and friends are good sources of referrals as well as help. If your spouse won't participate, go alone.
 
- Get Legal advice early. Do not move out of the house, start a divorce action or reach a custody or Property agreement without consulting a divorce Lawyer. If you're considering divorce, your and your spouse's interests are different enough for you to need divorce expert advice about your rights and obligations in divorce process. You need to know the divorce law and what a judge is likely to do in order for you to arrive at a fair agreement.
 
- Custody arrangements are easy to change if you agree. Changes need the judge's approval. That's normally routine if you both agree. If you don't agree, consult your divorce Lawyer about your options, but don't violate a custody order. You can be jailed, and you can lose what custody you have. The standard for awarding custody is always "the best interests of the child." Traditionally, custody by the mother and visitation and financial support from the father have been the rule. Today, joint custody is preferred in many states and commonly ordered in the others.
 
- Custody and support are different. Don't prevent visits or violate a custody order because the other divorced parent is behind on child support. See your divorce Lawyer instead. The same goes if the other divorced parent scuttles a visit. Keep up the support payments and see a divorce Lawyer if you can't work it out.
