Child Custody Attorney
The child custody attorney plays a key role in any child custody battle. It is important that anyone embarking on a child custody case find an attorney with whom they can work.
Finding the Right Child Custody Attorney
The child custody attorney should be experienced in the courtroom and knowledgeable in the law. How many cases has this person won? How many have they lost? Under what circumstances have they lost cases? How much time can they give to this case? These questions should be carefully considered when hiring a child custody lawyer.
Working with the Right Attorney
Not only is it important that your child custody lawyer is skilled in the courtroom, he or she also needs to be able to communicate effectively with you. Laws regarding child custody differ from state to state. Even different judges may have a tendency toward giving custody to the mother or the father. You want an attorney who knows as much about the system as possible.
And you need to effectively be able to communicate your agenda with your attorney. You need to be flexible too. What custody issues are of absolute importance to you? Which issues are you willing to negotiate? Your attorney can best serve you if you are clear about your needs.

Child Custody Laws In Missouri
Like most states, child custody Laws in Missouri favor making the transition as smooth as possible for children after a divorce. The key is to protect them from the difficulties of a failed marriage, and to keep both parents in their lives.
What Child Custody Laws in Missouri Recommend
Whichever parent has primary custody, it's important for the other parent to visit with and have their kids stay with them as much as possible too. At this point, it's vital for children to understand that just because the marriage has ended, this doesn't mean their parents love them any less. Visiting the children frequently will help them understand that they are still important.
Child custody laws in Missouri also recommend that discipline for their children be consistent, and that visits include being able to see how the children are being treated. Children should never be asked how they like a parent, as this might encourage them to unhealthily choose sides against one parent or the other. But observation of how the children are being spoken to and handled will not only ensure that both parents are doing a good job, but will also allow them to maintain consistency in their parental methods.
Be the Parents
The judicial system in Missouri stresses the importance of maintaining stability in a child's life after a divorce. Child custody arrangements should include a very careful awareness of how to treat children so they understand they are still loved, and that they will still have both parents in their lives as much as they always have. This is one of the most important child custody issues for parents to be aware of.

Interview with Julie Powell
Julie Powell charmed readers with Julie and Julia, in which she chronicled her quest to cook, in one year, every recipe out of Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. After its huge success and that of the subsequent blockbuster movie, she's back with a new memoir: Cleaving: A Book of Marriage, Meat, and Obsession. Far from a fluffy follow-up, she writes about learning to cut up animals at a butcher shop in upstate New York, while trying to make sense of her marriage after having an obsessive, two year affair.Is a Divorce Support Group Necessary?
The trauma of going through a divorce is devastating to both men and women. What?s worse is that this trauma is ongoing. From the time the marriage began going south, your emotions have been stretched and in high gear. The sad part about this is that when you were still in the marriage, you sought support from your friends, your church, or even, perhaps, in the arms of someone else to help you get your marriage back on track. But when the "D" word begins to be used, your faithful support group disappears.

North Carolina Child Custody Laws
North Carolina Child Custody Laws are very complex, and involve many procedures which have to be followed if someone is going to properly file a child custody case. Failure to meet these guidelines in even the slightest way will result in a parent being denied their plea.
How to Deal with North Carolina Child Custody Laws
Unless you know you are working with a highly skilled, knowledgeable attorney who can navigate through the incredible amount of red tape that North Carolina child custody laws demand, the best bet is to avoid going to court at all. In fact, only rarely do child custody disputes ever make it to the courts in North Carolina.
The judicial system of North Carolina, and most attorneys will prefer to settle matters of child custody out of court. Extreme efforts will be taken to see to it that the parents work things out between them in an amicable fashion. Only under certain circumstances, where the well being or life of a child may be in jeopardy, will the issue be taken before a judge.
Avoid the Courts
We all know how frustrating it can be to deal with an overly complicated, and unfortunately, often ineffective bureaucracy. That's why if you're a parent seeking child custody in North Carolina after a divorce, you should take whatever steps are necessary to settle the matter between yourselves.
Ohio Child Custody Laws
Ohio child custody laws take the best interests of the children into account when deciding any kind of child custody issues in a divorce settlement. As such, joint custody of children by both parents is not necessarily a given.
Understanding Ohio Child Custody Laws
Although it is more favorable to have equal child custody rights over their children, this is by no means a guarantee. An abusive, and/or negligent parent, or one who is addicted to illicit substances will be denied parental guardianship. Also, the parent's ability to support their children is a major consideration. If a parent isn't working, or if providing proper care for a child is beyond their physical, mental, or financial means, the parent who does have those means will be favored.
Children's Wishes
In some cases, a judge will listen to a kid's wishes when deciding a child custody case. But in general, this is a difficult way to get an accurate picture of what will be in his or her best interests. After all, parents can coerce their children into saying whatever they want, or sway an opinion by bad mouthing the other parent. A judge will usually conduct a private interview with a child to determine how much weight should be given to their expressed wishes.
Again, Ohio child custody laws only want what is best for a child in the long run. Deciding which parent is most fit to be the primary guardian of their children is no matter to be taken lightly. Ohio is very strict in child custody matters.
