Joint Custody, best for most children...
I had a great morning in court yesterday. My client and his ex-girlfriend were able to come to an agreement about the custody of their child. This meant that we could bring a consent order to the judge... which gave them joint custody of their boy. I really think that the key to any success is to very gently and respectfully explain to both sides the law, the options and how to peaceably solve the problem. Once they know the basics and aren't afraid of what might happen, they calm down and are able to think clearly. I was very proud of these two people and how they made the decision to face the future together as joint parents of their sweet little boy... even though they have separate lives now.
