Maximize Your Chances in Child Custody Battles
How can you help your own custody case? Hi, my name is Aaron Grubb. I’m a Tahlequah family law attorney at Wirth Law Office. In this video, we’re going to talk about what you can do to improve your position in a custody case.
Judges base custody decisions on one main standard: the best interest of the child. So, your goal is to demonstrate that your involvement and parenting serve that best interest.
Key Factors to Consider
To do this, you should be prepared to show:
-
- How involved you are in your child’s day-to-day life.
- Whether you have intimate knowledge of their needs, including school schedules, classes, medical appointments, and social interactions.
- Your awareness of important people in their lives—friends, teachers, doctors, caregivers, etc.
You should also be ready to answer detailed questions—either on direct or cross-examination—such as:
-
- What are the names of your child’s doctors or teachers?
- What medical diagnoses does your child have, if any?
- How often does your child see specific friends or family members?
Presenting a Strong Case
The more informed and engaged you appear, the stronger your case becomes. You’re showing the court that you’re actively involved, informed, and capable of making decisions in your child’s best interest. That can support your argument for maintaining or even gaining primary or full custody.
