Celebrity split ups, and celebrity divorces are sensationalised when they appear on the front pages of the newspapers and inside the gossip coloumns. It gets even worse though when there are children involved. Gaining custody, that's when the battle gets really nasty.
Don't wait for the pain, grief and potential loss of having your child taken from you simply because of the prejudice of being male. Don't allow yourself to be brainwashed by your ex-wife's judgements or pleas. Empathise, don't sympathise. The judge will not automatically default to her side.
Although laws per state can change, and it's important to know what those are. In general though, neither parent starts off as the favorite. Long gone are the days when the only right a man had, in respect of his kids, was to pay maintenance. Instead of being discriminated against by the legal system and in the process bled dry by lawyers fees, know your rights. By following expert advice you can significantly increase the chances of you gaining custody.
The number one criteria both parents know they have to satisfy is: what is in the best interest of the child? In practise however, custody battles are rarely ever that simple or straight forward. Custody evaluation, for instance, is a critical element in the decision-making process that can be a minefield to understand, let alone navigate. Unless, of course, you have private access to the freeway of knowledge that the specialists and experts have at their finger tips.
From the vast research done by experts specialising in child custody, fathers can and should arm themselves with the proven strategies that have worked in other successful cases. A caring, well prepared father who knows what the judge is looking for will be more successful in gaining custody.
Most fathers don't know that child custody and visitation cases can often be won or lost in the correct compilation of the legal application long before the court hearing itself.
