What Should I Avoid Doing When It Comes To My Child Custody Case?
You should avoid…
Being an absentee parent.
If you are going through a tough divorce and struggling emotionally, you should avoid taking this out on your children. At the end of the day, the court seeks to rule in the best interest of the child with any child custody case. If you aren’t involved in your child’s life much, this may reflect poorly on you as a parent to the court. For example, make an effort to attend extracurricular activities your child may be involved in, ask them about their day at school, and when there is a family event scheduled that you have been invited to, attend when at all possible.
Speaking poorly about your ex in front of children.
This is one of the worst things you can do in a divorce. Your children didn’t make this decision, you did. You need to be honest with them about everything when they ask, but don’t be immature and emotional when it comes to your ex. You still are co-parenting and acting that way won’t help matters in any way.
Putting your personal opinions of your ex on social media.
This is also another poor decision. Keep social media out of your divorce and your child custody case. For example, don’t be trying to spread rumors about your ex or posting photos of you and your new significant other when you’re in the middle of a divorce. This may not reflect well on you in court and once you put it out there it can become public information.
