Are you searching for insight into co-parenting and shared child custody in a Louisville divorce? Child custody and visitation can be one of the most contentious and challenging issues in any divorce. Dealing with the end of a marriage is a big enough burden for most people to manage. Managing the process of determining child custody and visitation makes it that much more difficult to handle. This is especially true when something has happened which has damaged the trust between the former spouses.
The reality of child custody and visitation is that in most situations it is going to be in the best interests of the child(ren) to see each parent for an equal amount of “quality” time, and in many cases an equal “quantity” of time. This is going to require coordination and somewhat of a partnership when working through the issues surrounding co-parenting and shared child custody in a Louisville divorce.
If you want to maximize the visitation time with each child you must demonstrate to the Court that you are not only capable of providing for all of the needs of that child, but that you are prepared to do what is in the best interests of that child. The Court is carefully observing each party throughout the process of your divorce. The Judge works to thoroughly understand the existing rhythms in each child’s life and the parental capabilities of each would be co-parent. This includes the ability to work through the inevitable challenges which arise when co-parenting during and after your divorce.
This often involves a process of setting aside issues between you and your former spouse when it comes to matters involving your child(ren). In many cases, this requires establishing a working arrangement of co-parenting and shared child custody in a Louisville divorce. Rebuilding the trust necessary to co-parent can be rooted in shared values surrounding the creation of an environment which will help your child(ren) to manage the transition. Communications and coordination will be required to maintain consistency in each child’s life while managing issues such as a consistent approach to discipline and/or study habits and working on building an environment which supports each child.
