Even though there is a general perception that the mother has higher chances when it comes to the custody of the child, the law provides for equal chances for two parents in this matter. It is only that in most cases, the mothers seem to have advantages as they are always closer to the kid, and develop a stronger bond with them. In case you need tips on how to win child custody for fathers, there is no reason to despair. There are several tips that can give you the advantage.
It is important that the father continues paying the support expenses towards the child's upkeep. If he was not paying for the support, then it is important to begin as soon as possible as it can work for him during the trail. There are some situations where the dad may make the payment through an informal arrangement with mother; in this case, he must be sure to properly keep the related records such as the check receipts and the correspondence letters with the mother. However, a modification could be requested in case the father is struggling with the payment.
The second most important thing is to build a strong and lasting relationship with your kid. If there is no court injunction stopping the father from seeing the kid, then he should be in close contact, by frequently calling to check the child's day. He should also visit physically, and be in contact with the school, introduce himself to the administration and make sure that the kid knows he is available for any kind of support.
There is a need for maintaining a proper visitation schedule as this may also be needed in the court. There should be a parenting plan available. Such plans help the dad not to skip or forget the important days or their visiting day. The dad should also introduce himself to the school administration.
In addition to this, the dad should attend the special days in school. These could be the educational events, religious events or just social events but they serve as evidence that father has a meaningful relationship with the kid. Some days that should not be missed include the baptisms, birthday parties, school plays, closing days, and sporting events among others.
You must also be on the lookout for any obstacle that can prevent the judge from making a decision that favors you. The most important of these is the paternity test that could prove otherwise. This is a major consideration particularly when the two are not married.
It is also important that the father is well prepared to deal with the possible obstacles that may come on the way. The possible cases include the paternity test proving otherwise particularly when the two have never married, the child's own opinion being against the father, and the mother's self-interest.
In order to be able to fully prepare, father must look out for any obstacles that could work against him. The major one is the paternity proof that may be required in court, particularly if the couple had never married before. Other things like the child's wishes and the mother's demands may also be considered. Opting for a mediation or arbitration instead of an adversarial court hearing may be better. However, whatever the option decided, it is important to have an experienced lawyer handle the case.
