Responsible parents realize that nothing is more important than the well-being of their children, and they keep that in mind even when they separate or divorce. In a perfect world, parents would put aside their differences and squabbles and act civilly and responsibly around their children and towards one another.
Unfortunately, all too many times that is not what happens, and some parents need assistance in resolving the child-related issues that inevitably arise when their marriage ends. The following list, while not exhaustive, can serve as a guide to the types of issues that parents should address to try to keep the best interests of their children at the forefront:
- The “normal” parenting schedule
- Holiday and summer parenting schedule
- How to make the exchanges
- Communication when issues arise
- Creating a child friendly home
Child-related issues can be resolved in any number of ways, from reaching an amicable agreement (best case) to all-out litigation (worst case). To improve your chances of reaching a positive outcome when facing these issues, consult with an experienced family law attorney as soon as possible. You are welcome to contact our office at (864) 598-9172 to schedule a consultation.
