The “Cast of Characters” in Your Custody Case

You know you’re a good mother, but your child’s father has done everything he can to make you doubt yourself. In fact, he’s done pretty much everything he can to make everyone doubt you—friends, family members, acquaintances, the guardian ad litem, and on and on. Even though you know you always put your children first, you’re already your toughest critic and hearing so many unflattering things is hard on your self esteem. Deep down, you know you’ve done everything you could, always—but that doesn’t stop a little niggling voice of self doubt from rooting itself deep in you.

As you prepare to face a custody case, your self esteem is at its lowest. You probably spend hours worrying about your case, whether you’ve hired an attorney or not, and how you’ll prepare for it. You know you’re a good mother—but how will you (and your attorney, if you’re represented by counsel) make sure that the court sees everything that you do? How do you make sure it’s not a he said/she said situation? You know court is all about the evidence, and you’ll need every iota you can find to make sure that your case is as strong as possible.

Whether you’re representing yourself or have an attorney representing you, you’ll want to do everything you can to help make sure your case is as strong as possible on the day you walk into the courtroom. But who knows what a good mother you are? Obviously, a lot of what you do is witnessed only by you and the kids. But, if you really sit down and think about all the work you do, you might be surprised to realize how many people could be witnesses for you!
