The Basics of The Child Custody Process

When parents cannot agree on a child custody arrangement, the court will make a decision based on what is in the best interest of the child. This process typically involves several steps, including:

1. Child Custody Evaluation: The court can appoint a neutral third-party professional to conduct an evaluation, which includes interviews with both parents and the child.
2. Mediation: The court may order mediation to help parents reach a mutually agreed-upon parenting plan. This can be a less costly and more peaceful alternative to going to trial.
3. Court Hearing: If mediation fails, or if one parent does not comply with the mediated agreement, then the case will go to a custody hearing. Each parent will present their case, and a judge will make a final decision.
