Child Custody
 When facing divorce,
you will have many questions and concerns about how to protect your children from being
torn apart by a devastating custody battle or being emotionally damaged by an adversarial
divorce. If you have children you owe it to yourself and to them to learn about a better
alternative. If you value your children's emotional health, and understand that your
relationship with their other parent is essential in ensuring their healthy adjustment to
their lives after the divorce, you should consider alternative means of dispute
resolution, including Mediation and Collaborative Law. You know your children best and you,
not a judge, are in the best position to make important, lifelong decisions about their
lives.
When couples work in the Collaborative Law process or
through Mediation to create co-parenting arrangements everybody wins. Most importantly,
the children don't feel like pawns in a battle between their parents. Remember, custody
plans can always be changed. Initial decisions that work for the current situation can be
easily modified at a later point in time as the children grow and everyone's lives change.
When Judith Nesburn works with you to create a parenting
arrangement, the focus will always be the best interests of your children. She understands
the importance of establishing a clear plan for sharing custody of your minor children and
having an agreement that also makes reasonable accommodations for modifications should circumstances such as your
employment or your child or children’s educational needs change. If necessary, you
can bring in mental health professionals to evaluate the needs of your children and to
guide you in making parenting plans which reflect your children's developmental or special
needs.
