Two spouses who are divorcing each other may naturally find it difficult to agree on various issues that need to be addressed before a divorce can be finalized. Child custody is often such an issue.
You want what is best for your child. There is a very good chance your spouse wants the same. There is also a very good chance that both of you have different ideas regarding what is best for your child.
One way to approach this hurdle during the divorce process is mediation. A Beverly Hills mediation attorney at Baghdaserians Law Group, INC. can help you resolve child custody disagreements and other such disputes that may arise when getting a divorce in an efficient manner that prioritizes your rights.
Mediation can serve many purposes. The following are among the more noteworthy:
California law requires that spouses enter into mediation when a spouse contests the proposed terms of a visitation or custody agreement. The goal of mediation is to arrive at an agreement that both spouses can accept.
It’s important to understand that this does not always happen. If mediation does not result in a mutually satisfactory agreement, each spouse may need to present their case to the court. It will then be up to the judge to make a decision regarding the terms of a child custody agreement.
A judge will account for several factors when making such a decision. Their goal is to always make a decision that is ideal for the children. One such factor a judge will typically consider is a mediator’s report. To optimize the chances of a mediator’s report being fair and accurate, it is wise to hire a mediation attorney who has experience working with clients like yourself.
Getting a divorce can be a stressful experience for many reasons. The mindsets of two spouses divorcing each other can influence just how stressful this process may be. This is particularly true when two spouses can’t come to an agreement regarding child custody.
It is important to ensure your rights are protected in the circumstances. This does not mean you need to enter into a divorce with an adversarial perspective. The process of getting a divorce and making child custody decisions can be much easier for everyone involved if you and your spouse are willing to work together. It’s also worth remembering that you may be required to attempt to work with your spouse before determining that it should be up to the court to make child custody decisions.
