In an interview this week, the founder of the Law Offices of Francis King urged: “Understanding the law about your custody case will go a long way to reining in expectations and becoming more realistic about the potential outcomes."
He said a divorce attorney should advise a client about parents' rights, the geographic restrictions on the child's residence, what the shared time with a child will look like, how child support is calculated and how child health insurance will be handled.
King urged parents to be better prepared for a court appearance, what it involves, and how a judge will balance arguments in deciding what will be in the best interests of a child.
"Various factors and considerations will come into play, from their relationship with their child leading up to the custody case and the relationship they plan afterwards. The child's emotional needs and the overall environment in two homes where the child can flourish will also be considered."
Parents should also question their lawyers about the potential outcomes and how their rights will be affected. "A lawyer must gather all the evidence to understand the client's current circumstances, future plans, and involvement with their child to build a case.’’
"A parent needs to understand that the court is going to start by looking at the status quo, so they can ensure as much stability for the child as possible and maintain the child's relationship with both parents."
Parents should not be afraid to question their lawyers on the financial support for a child, how that works, what is expected of them if they have to pay their ex-spouse, and the consequences of failing to meet that obligation.
"If a parent is fighting for custody, they should be closely questioning the impact of seeking child custody rights, their responsibilities, their realistic expectations, and what that will look like in the long term," he urged.
King concluded: "Having a clear idea of what is expected and being realistic going into a child custody case is very helpful. Don't be afraid to question your lawyer, as you'll be better prepared with the right knowledge."
