Brooklyn Child Custody Lawyer Discusses Joint Custody

Determining If Joint Custody Is A Good Idea For Children Or Not:

The most important factor for children's well being during and after divorce is limiting the amount of conflict between parents.  Children desire to have love and approval from both parents and need to have a peaceful environment to feel safe and secure. 

Due to the fact that children need the support and presence of both parents in their lives, family courts in New York City and across the nation have been encouraged to order joint custody arrangements (except in circumstances where joint custody would not be in the best interest of the child).  Even though joint custody certainly has its benefits, there are situations in which joint custody can be a drawback.

One of the disadvantages for some children is that they feel torn, and having to rotate from one home to another for the purposes of visitiation only amplifies the situation of separate living arrangements.  

When children are put in the middle of parents who do not get along, a joint custody arrangement may not be in the best interest of the children. An essential part of parenting requires effective communication and cooperation amongst both parents – and we provide a 7 week parenting course which teaches parents effective parenting techniques.
