Custody Disputes Produce Few Winners
By David Siegel
Undergoing a custody battle should be an act of last resort. The end result usually produces two losers and no winners. It should only be attempted if children are being subject to physical or psychological danger. If your child is being exposed to physical or sexual harm, take immediate action at any price. Additionally, if the children are being exposed to individuals and behaviors that make proper parenting for the children impossible, then a contested custody case is certainly warranted. Such behaviors would include drug use, multiple sexual partners in the presence of the children and psychotic actions caused by mental instability.

The well being of the entire family can be enhanced through the use of mediation. However, if is not effective and the children are at severe risk of harm, forge ahead with a custody battle. Just remember, there are few winners if ever. Importantly, before jumping in the waters of a divorce or custody case, consult with an experienced divorce or family lawyer to learn more about your rights and about the likely outcome. There is so much misinformation that surrounds divorce and custody. People discuss other peoples' results without knowing any of the facts of the case. It goes way beyond hearsay. Without the advice of an experienced attorney, there is no way to have peace of mind throughout the process.
