Deciding How to Share Custody of Your Children

Monday, 30 December 2019 by donm
child custody

If you are getting a divorce with children or ending a relationship with your child’s other parent, the matter of custody will need to be decided. When parents cannot agree on an arrangement, the court must decide the matter for them. This takes all control away from the parents,and it can also be a time-consuming and costly process. It is almost always preferable to decide how to split custody on your own, so you know the arrangement will be practical and feasible with your schedules and situations.

Once you sit down to try to work out a custody arrangement – where do you start? First, it is important to remember that state law favors a child maintaining relationships with both parents, which means that joint custody is preferred when possible. There are a limited number of situations in which sole custody will be awarded:

  • One parent is unfit
  • The parents live far away from one another
  • One parent voluntarily relinquishes custody rights

Otherwise, you will need to decide on a shared custody schedule.

Some parents decide to split time almost 50/50, while others might decide the child will primarily live with one parent and visit with the other parent. As long as your arrangement is in the best interests of your child, you have flexible options when it comes to deciding on a specific schedule. It is important to have the advice and counsel of an experienced custody lawyer in Southfield during your negotiations to make sure you are aware of all the options that might work for you.
