Types of Child Custody Disputes
Disputes related to child custody are of two types: - Legal Custody: Here, the parents are seen to fight over the right to make major decisions on behalf of the child which includes but are not limited to education, health care, religion, extra-curricular activities.
- Physical Custody: In this type of dispute, the fight is over whom the child should stay with. In this battle, issues such as visitation, visitation rights, and timings are discussed.
Mediation as a Solution to Child Custody Battles
If you are really considering valid alternatives to court room battles for resolving child custody disputes, I would rather recommend mediation. All that you need to do is to appoint a mediator who is acceptable to both and then put your faith to a large extent on him to arrive at a solution that is acceptable to all. Else, you would end up spending a fortune on your attorney’s bill.
A second variation of mediation that you could use will be to interact with family members. When you interact with people, there is a lot of inflow of ideas. You could work out a permutation and combination of these ideas and then arrive at a solution that best suits your needs.
The Final Word
As a last word, I would like to mention that when you are involved in a child custody dispute, you should have the interests of the child in mind and then take a decision. Do not make them scapegoats of your intention of getting back at your spouse. Do not punish them for no fault of theirs.
