Decide Your Own Child Custody Rights Before Letting The Court Decide For You
One of the hardest parts of a divorce or separation is figuring out child custody. It's one of those things that many people leave to a judge because they cannot figure out how to deal with it themselves. The issue that occurs with such a decision is that it's not always ideal for either parents or guardians. A little understanding of how custody works can help you figure out a custody situation that works for everybody.
About Me
Hello. My name is Stephanie Laurel. I have recently been through a divorce, and although I don’t wish it on anyone, I do wish that everyone could come out of the proceedings feeling they have been taken care of. My husband and I had been married twenty-eight years. We have four children, two of which are still under eighteen years of age. We owned the home we lived in and had a vacation home in a different state. We are civilized people, we get along fairly well considering, but no matter how much we thought we could go through the divorce process without lawyers, it wasn't possible. We each hired a divorce attorney to represent us. Most of the negotiations went well, but when we hit a rough spot the attorneys took over. Thank goodness. I’m going to share more about the experience and hope it helps you.
