Understanding the Burden of Proof in 50/50 Custody Cases
Do you have a paternity action coming up, and now you’re wondering, you know, how should I prove or how can I prove that the other parent doesn’t deserve 50-50 custody? Well, my name is Aaron Grubb. I’m a Tahlequah family attorney at Wirth Law Office, and in this video, we’re just going to talk about the burden of proof to show that 50-50 custody is not a good idea.
When you’re seeking sole custody or a majority custody arrangement, you’ll need to demonstrate that a shared or 50/50 parenting plan would be harmful to your children’s health or well-being. This could include situations where the other parent is unable to meet the children’s needs, whether due to long work hours, lack of financial stability, or an unsafe home environment.
Factors to Consider When Proving Custody Arrangements
In some cases, there may be a history of domestic violence or abuse. If spending unsupervised time with the other parent could put your children at risk emotionally, mentally, or physically, that needs to be brought to the court’s attention. It’s essential to gather any evidence that supports your claims, as this will strengthen your case significantly.
