Child Custody Advice
for the Recently Divorced

2. Getting the answer for every question of a
child and providing them with the proper
life is one of the hardest tasks for both
divorced couples. Both the custodial and
non-custodial parent should consider the
below mentioned advice which can guide
them through their job.

3. Advice for the Parent who is
having child custody:
The custody of a child in case of a divorce is
determined by the court, they give the
custody considering the well being of the
child. If one of the spouse gains the
sole custody of the child then it is their
responsibility to make sure that the child is
getting the best possible education and health
care. The parent having the sole custody is
responsible to take major decisions for the
child whether it is related to religion to
follow or the welfare program.

4. In some case the couple agrees to go
for divorce but decide to give a completely
normal life to their children. In such a case
they apply for shared custody so that both the
parents get to spend equal time with
children.
The most important thing that should be
understood by both the party’s is that the
child should never be dragged to the court as
it has a bad effect on their mental state and
may get them into developing a thinking that
compels them to believe that they are the
main culprit of the divorce.

5. Advise for the non-custodial
parent:
The main thing to which the non custodial
parent should get adapted to is that they
don’t have the right equivalent to the
custodial one. But then this does not say that
non-custodial parent has no rights to be with
their kids. Following are some of the rights
that are with the non-custodial parent:
 The
court decides the specific days and
duration for which the kids get to spend
some quality time with the parent.

6.  The
court also decides the type of contact the
child can have with the non-custodial parent.
 It
is the right of the court to decide the child
support that will be offered by the parent
with no custody, and decision is done
keeping in mind the income of both custodial
and non-custodial parent.
 A clarified
child custody agreement is
provided by the court which define the right
of each parent whether it be access to the
child’s school or medical records.

7. During a legal proceeding it is the job of the
parents to preserve their child from such
kind of stressful environment and provide
them with normal, stable and friendly
surroundings after the divorce has been
finalized.
