Looking into your child's future when they are born, you don't normal see child custody. As parents battle it out, more often than not, the child is caught in the middle. Often it becomes more of a desire to beat the other parent than it does about the parents original intent, to spend the most time with the child they love. The battle isn't always for worthy reasons though. Be sure to keep these things at heart, whatever your reasoning for seeking help with your child custody case.
Your best option will always be to tell the truth. During your pursuit of child custody you will be asked lots of question, some even multiple times. Working with a mediator or even going to court will mean even more questions. The truth, then, is imperative. When giving your answers don't lie or even exaggerate Adding aspects to your story, to make you look better will be tempting, but try to resist this. Stick to the facts by being honest and straightforward, especially if you are seeking more time with your children. In the end, any lying or manipulating you have done will be found out and will be negative for your case.
Sole custody is typically awarded for some very specific reasons. For example, if one of the parents has a drug habit, the judge will order the children to live in a drug free home only. So look up other custody cases. This is especially important if you might be on the "wrong" side of this type of child custody help. Learn everything you can about what changes you need to make in your own life to help the case end in your favor.
Work with the other parent is very important. This will make you both look better if you have to take the matter to court. Put yourself in the other parents shoes. In no way does this mean that you have to give in to the other parent's demands though. It is important, however, that you try to meet the parent's needs or expectations if it is safe for your children to do so. Remember: it's not about beating the other person. It's about what is best for your kids.
Seeking child custody help can be done for many reasons. Whatever your reasons, just remember two things. The first and most important thing you need to remember is that the goal of this situation is to make sure that your children's best interests are met. And remember that knowledge is power.
