A divorce is a potential host for many unpleasant battles. Besides the hotly contested issues like the home and the materials possessions, parents will also want to established who wants to actively participate in the life/lives of their child/children.
This can escalate to a level far beyond who decides to spend Sunday brunch with 10-year-old Mark. However, parents need to realized that winning a child custody battle is not about who gets that larger share of the pie with the child but instead to provide a stable environment despite the separation.
That is why one needs an experienced family lawyer for the court to realize who is unable to hold a job or who can’t provide a stable home environment. An experienced family lawyer will:
Dissect the important issues so parents can come into a conclusion on which of the custody and visitation issues are worth bringing to court. Having a family lawyer with a few years of experience will easily help you into distinguishing which issues are worth fighting for and which ones are reasonable enough to be settled.
Some family lawyers will let themselves get caught in the personal issues and allegations that are thrown at each other by both camps. Find a counsel who will see to it the best interest for the case is custody care of the child. Having someone who will not make rash or emotional decisions will bring positive results inside the court.
Your choice for legal counsel should learn to manage your expectations. He or she should not put word into your mouth. Telling a client that a particular outcome will happen when he or she knows that such a result is not likely, is a big no-no. Even with an extensive experience, a lawyer does not make promises about specific results. However, one can ensure clients especially those experiences that a lawyer has experienced before that a potential outcome will be of his or her best interest.
Find someone who does not tolerate family lawyers who consistently delay proceedings as a tactic which is abusing the justice system. There can be attempts by the opposing parent to become abusive in court which will cost client unnecessary lawyer fees. These deliberate delays or misconduct will aggressively pursue family lawyer fees against the other parent. This will ensure that parent and his or her lawyer understand that delays and malicious conduct will come with serious consequences.
In addition to the above, the believe the best family lawyers only represent good people with the right intentions. That is one simple rule to abide with. A good family lawyer will represent parents who intend to use the children as leverage or who are abusive emotionally or physically toward the children. If a parent is wrongly blamed of these things, we aggressively and effectively represent such parents.
