It is an unusual situation you may find yourself in when attempting to show yourself as the best possible parent while proving the other parent is unfit. While many people believe the other parent is unfit the line is certainly not clear. What is unfit? If you poll 100 different Judges you will get 100 different definitions. Your desire to prove your former spouse unfit may lead you to take a more extreme position on the issues than you might normally take. You will not look good to the court by doing this.

There is no winner in a custody battle. The children involved certainly gain nothing regardless where they reside. At best you can only work to minimize the damage divorce brings to your children. Remember, your children are not possessions, they are people who have emotions and feelings. They love their parents, in most cases, both of them so you do a great deal of harm by attempting to damage your former spouse in your custody fight. Stay on high ground, you can win by being better prepared.

The first thing you should do in the beginning stages is get temporary custody. The old adage of possession being 9/10th of the law may come into play when the time comes for a decision to be made regarding where your children will reside. This move assumes you have hired a competent attorney who understands family law in your state. Don’t take the advice of your friend or anyone else who may advise you on how to proceed. Find the best lawyer in your community. Trust me, it will be money well spent.

Second on the list of importance is documentation. You must document everything no matter how insignificant you think it may be. No one every lost a custody battle by having too much documentation. Your emotions will be all over the place during this process and documenting things can help you sort out what is important and what is not. It also shows the court of your willingness to make an effort to keep custody of your children. You would be surprised how many parents don’t bother to do a simple thing like document everything in their quest for custody. Don’t inject opinions or sling mud in your documentation, just keep it factual.

These few tips can really make a difference in gaining custody of your children. For more Child Custody Strategies visit my website Getting Child Custody.
