  2. Divorce is hard, but what makes it harder? The possibility of not being able to spend more time with your own child. Navigating child custody battles is one of the most heart-wrenching aspects of divorce. The stakes of gaining custody are high. And during this period both parents usually find themselves experiencing a lot of stress emotionally as well as legally.

  3. CUSTODY MEDIATION: A PEACEFUL APPROACH Child custody mediation allows both parents to work together. Mediation provides parents with an opportunity to settle the issue without having to go to trial. A neutral mediator helps them communicate and reach a fair agreement. This option is less formal. It focuses on finding common ground. Let’s have a look at the pros and cons of child custody mediation.

  4. PROS OF CUSTODY MEDIATION • Control: Parents themselves decide what is best for their children. • Less Stress: This process is more peaceful and effective in getting people to work together. • Cost-Effective: The other major benefit of mediation is that it is not as expensive as approaching the court. • Privacy: Mediation ensures that your family affairs do not go to civil records of the court. • Faster Resolution: Conflicting parties can agree more easily.

  5. CONS OF CUSTODY MEDIATION • Imbalance of Power: If one of the parents is more authoritative the other may experience pressure. • Not Legally Binding: The agreement may not be legal and binding unless it undergoes the approval of the court. • Not for Everyone: Mediation might not be effective in cases of high conflict or high abuse.

  6. LITIGATION: THE COURT DECIDES Litigation for custody of a child can be defined as taking your claim to court to seek a legal remedy. A judge will make the final decision of having custody of the children. This is usually a more confrontational process. Let’s have a look at the pros and cons of litigations in such cases. CONS OF LITIGATING CUSTODY Stress: Legal proceedings are not easy on the emotional stability of both parents and the children. Expensive: Legal expenses, such as attorney fees and proceedings’ costs, are expensive. Time-consuming: In fact, appointments of courts as well as lengthy procedures disrupt everything and slow everything down. Damages relationships: Family conflict in court leads to deterioration of relationships between the ex-spouses, and therefore influences the lives of children.
