Some of the biggest mistakes made by parents in a custody dispute include:
a) Badmouthing the other parent. This can harm your chances of winning custody and can pressure children to take sides.
b) Withholding access to the other parent. Courts prioritize consistent parental access and cooperation.
c) Disobeying court orders. This can lead to negative consequences for your case.
d) Failing to cooperate with other parent and the court. Lack of cooperation can damage your case.
e) Misrepresenting substance or physical abuse. Falsifying claims about the other parent can lead to serious legal consequences.
f) Manipulating children. Forcing children to choose sides or manipulating their views against the other parent is discouraged.
g) Inadequate social media behavior. Posting things online that could be used against you in court can hurt your case.
h) Not prioritizing the child's emotional health. The child's emotional health is essential for their well-being. The child is most important, not the parents.
