In child custody battles, one side often wants to share some “dirt” on the other party and assumes that will have an impact on the outcome of the child custody case. However, in most instances, what happened before your child was even born will likely have little if any effect on your child custody case.
Child custody battles are intense because there is a lot at stake. It can be difficult to control your emotions throughout the process, but it is important to remember to focus on the end goal. The goal of the child custody process is to determine what is in the best interest of your child and that is what you should be focusing on.
No matter how difficult your ex is making your life it is important to remember that the court is only concerned with determining what is in the best interest of the child. If you stall calm and composed throughout the process, it can go a long way.
It’s likely in child custody battles that either side wants to compromise. However, if you go to court it is possible that the outcome might not go your way. It is always worth pursuing mediation to see if you can come to an agreement that you are both okay with rather than leave it all in the hands of the judge.
