Of course, the hope is that your child will continue to benefit from the
relationship he or she has with both parents. Unfortunately, not all
parents are focused on parenting, but still wants CONTROL.
Convincing the courts that it is in the "best interest of the child" for you
to have custody may be a long shot. The courts have become accustom to
unverifiable claims against each others, soon to be, ex-spouse.
Your attorney is the expert in law. Most attorneys are not going to be
found providing hours of surveillance to support "your" interest. You
probably are not going to find your attorney sitting in a parking lot, waiting
on your child's dad or mom to get off work, and following them to a local bar,
having a couple of drinks with their buddies, then picking up your child and
driving, with them in the car, while intoxicated.
The courts may appoint a custody evaluator. Since an evaluator is a
"professional" the courts depend greatly on their opinion.
An opinion based on a few minutes on the phone, and, possibly a few minutes in
the home. To bad these people don't have mal-practice insurance.
Here is the scary part. The evaluator may not be educated in this
area. They may be an attorney who found they are not cut out for the
courts. You may not know if the evaluator has a "conflict of interest"
in your case. Yes, they should identify any conflict of interests.
Don't be naive! It cost a lot more to be wrong than to PROTECT YOUR
INTEREST.
