Divorces are becoming increasingly common in today's society. This is a tough spot to be in as well. The inclusion of children in this circumstance makes it much more heartbreaking. As much as you & your ex are upset, angry, & disappointed, the child or children caught in the middle of this - typically feel even worse.

First and foremost, concentrate on your youngster. Remember to reassure your children that both parents adore them & that nothing can ever change that. Explain to your youngster that they are not to blame for anything in this situation. With so much going on, it's easy to become self-centered and lose sight of this.

If you want to win child custody, you must be prepared and remember that your ex is going to do everything - possible to make you look bad, a bad person, a bad parent, and even a bad employee. Be prepared for a tough battle. You need to be prepared and do everything in your power to demonstrate to the court that you deserve to win child custody.

What this means is, you need to act responsibly and dress appropriately. Make sure you're on time, not only for court but also for dropping off and picking up your children. This cannot be stressed enough. Persistent lateness will cause more animosity between you and your ex; it will also look bad before the judge, severely damaging your chances of gaining custody.

Always turn up to work as scheduled; be seen to be a loving, kind, and caring parent; don't get drunk; don't have multiple partners. If you don't have a job, get one. Finally, every state has different laws in regard to child custody. A common thread, however, is the importance of presentation.

When you appear in court, ensure you wear appropriate clothes: conventional, neat, and tidy. If needed, purchase a new outfit to fit these requirements. Remember to behave yourself when you're in court. Keep your cool at all times. If you lose your temper, the judge will not look favorably towards you.
