Child Custody Survival Guide
by Sheera Herrell, B. Caitlin Walters and Katherine Wilcox Carter
Facing a custody case? Our free custody book for Virginia moms is the perfect place to start.
When things don't work out, it raises all sorts of questions:
- How do courts decide custody and visitation?
- Is it possible that I could LOSE custody?
- What if my child’s father was never involved before?
- What does ‘best interests of the child’ mean?
- What are my options when it comes to coparenting arrangements?
There’s nothing much scarier for a mom than the possibility of a custody case, and they can come up in all sorts of different ways. Maybe your custody case is part of an ongoing divorce case. It could also be a standalone case—if you and your husband aren’t ready to get a divorce yet but still need custody determined, or if you and your child’s father never married. It’s also possible that yours is a modification. If custody has been determined before, you could be going back to court to determine custody, visitation, or support based on your changed circumstances. Even if you don’t think that your child’s father will fight you for custody, it’s a good idea to get information about what you may find yourself facing.
What do Virginia moms need to know about custody, visitation and child support cases?
There’s a lot of information out there, but it’s hard to tell what you can trust from what’s just junk. And you need to know--there's an awful lot at stake in a custody case! You want to make sure you have the most up to date, Virginia specific information possible—and that’s exactly what we can provide.
