Divorce is an incredibly challenging and emotional process, and it can get overwhelming when combined with the stress of child custody. The impact of divorce on the children is the priority of the parents and the courts. Before you panic, you should know that there are some foolproof ways for winning child custody. Here are three of them.

#1: Get Personal Character References

The courts want to ensure the children end up in the custody of the more reliable, trustworthy parent. Your character will be in question, and you need to prove yourself worthy. One of the best ways to do this is with character references. Family, friends, coworkers, bosses, teachers from your children’s school, and other people you and your children interact with regularly are great sources for these.

#2: Prove Your Ability to Care for and Support Your Child

The best interest of the child or children is what’s at stake during a divorce and custody hearings. Proving you’re able to care for and support your child or children is a factor that the court considers. This is not just financial but also includes your ability to ensure their happiness, security, and emotional and physical well-being.

#3: Hire the Right Attorney

One of the most foolproof ways to ensure a win when it comes to child custody is hiring an experienced attorney. You want legal representation by someone with in-depth knowledge of the divorce and custody laws. You need someone who understands all of the factors and considerations regarding child custody decisions and the courts.

If you’re moving toward or are in the process of a divorce, don’t put your fate and the fate of your children’s custody into unknown hands. Contact the legal team at McCutchen McLean, LLC for representation you can depend on.

I recently had a tax issue with the IRS. I called McCutchen McClean law firm and they were able to fit me in quickly. They sat down with me, reviewed all the documents, listened to my concerns, and gave me wonderful advice as to how to fix the issue. They were friendly and understanding. Now, my tax issue is resolved, taking a HUGE weight off my mind. I would recommend them for any tax issue you may have! The service, hospitality, knowledge, and professionalism was outstanding!

I have referred several clients to them. My clients are very happy with the outstanding, timely service they receive. James and Robin are extremely smart and professional, yet speak in "plain english" so everyone walks away educated regarding their tax, estate or family law issue.

I used Robin McLean as an attorney to secure a divorce about 20 months ago. I found her to be efficient, reasonably priced, and very well skilled. I was completely happy with her work. She did what she said. Since that time, I needed additional help with paperwork and she responded promptly and to my complete satisfaction. I highly recommend Robin as an attorney.
