Divorcing When Custody Is In Contention
Decisions that deal with children during a divorce are often filled with emotion and strong feelings, but in that respect, they are like many others. What makes this issue stand out, however, is that the family courts take far more of a keen interest in this matter than they do your credit card debts or who ends up with the family home.
In fact, if you and your spouse cannot agree on a parenting plan for your minor children, then the judge may order a custody evaluation.
