Custody
Questions over custody can be the most divisive and stressful facets of a divorce, even one that is amicable. Who will get the children? What kind of visitation schedule is acceptable? What about holidays and birthdays? In a perfect world, both divorcing parents would be on the same page about co-parenting their child after a divorce. In reality, this issue can quickly devolve, with some
parents succumbing to the temptation to use their children as pawns in the demise of their marriage. When it comes to custody negotiations, what is right for the parent is not necessarily right for the child. These issues need to be handled with sensitivity and an eye toward the legal rights of all parties.

settlement is final.

Child custody
Child custody and guardianship are legal terms which are sometimes used to describe the legal and practical relationship between a parent and his or her child, such as the right of the parent to make decisions for the child, and the parent's duty to care for the child.
