How to Prove You Are a Good Parent to the Court

Document Your Parent Involvement for the Court on Paper

Show the court how involved you are as a parent by writing it all down. For example:

The point here is to present the court with a professional looking outline of your involvement and to show you have a strong case for custody and that you make the effort to give your child the best life you can as a parent.

Document Phone Calls with Your Child

How in touch with your child are you? Do you video chat with your child every day? Do you call them on the phone and talk twice a week? Get ahold of your phone records and present the court with the amount of time you put into communicating with your child.

Consider Requesting a Custody Evaluation

In child custody cases, it can be common for a Custody Evaluation to be ordered by the court. This is where a professional will come in and speak to the child or children one on one and also visit the homes of both parents. After they have conducted their findings, they will report back to the court with their professional recommendation. You don’t have to wait for the court to order a Custody Evaluation, you can request one yourself in an effort to get to the bottom of things quicker.
