How to Keep Children Out Of Court When it Comes to Child Custody
MIAMI, FL. (PRWEB) August 12, 2013 -- The last thing any child needs, and the thing that children of divorcing couples usually fear the most, is being offered the choice of whether to live with Mom or Dad. While parents may feel they are being fair in giving their offspring a choice, it puts the children in the impossible position of choosing which of their beloved parents they are going to offend and disappoint. Even when both parents insist that they will not be hurt either way, a child will usually feel a great dilemma and huge pressure to make the right choice. However, at the other end of the spectrum, when couples are unable to agree, amicably, on the custody of their children, they may end up fighting it out in court. This sometimes leads to children being made to appear in court and explain their feelings, which is not in the best interests of any child. Court is a cold and frightening place for children, especially when their family structure is being debated and deconstructed. The best thing for any child is to have both parents agree on what is in their best interests and then be told what is going to happen. In most cases, when parents agree and decide on something, the children happily accept it.
