(Their biographies are included following the Checklist) Handling Your Custody Case: the Single Biggest Mistake:The absolute best way to prevail in a custody dispute, especially if the dispute moves toward an evaluation, is to emphasize all of your good traits as a parent, even if still in the courtroom. At the same time, it is equally important to down-play any attempt to make the other parent look unfit. Choosing the Wrong Attorney: the Most Common Error in Handling Child Custody DisputesMaybe we make bad decisions because we want to work with people we know. Maybe we trust the recommendations of people we've trusted in the past. Whatever the reason, choosing the wrong attorney is the biggest mistake made by people in child custody conflicts. From getting an unfair child settlement outcome to unrealistic and often damaging child custody arrangements, choosing the right attorney to protect you and your loved one(s) is essential. The Bribed or Manipulated Child: Handling Your Child Custody CaseOne of the saddest and most frustrating situations occurs when a child has been bribed or manipulated to turn against one of the parents. The child might previously have had a wonderful relationship with the so-called "target parent." Manipulations can range from very subtle, like the parent who looks sad and distressed when the child goes off to visit the other parent, right on through the entire spectrum to the other extreme, where the parent actively damns and condemns the target parent.
