How to Keep Children out of Court When it Comes to Child Custody
1.
2. The last thing any child needs, and the thing that
children of divorcing couples usually fear the
most, is being offered the choice of whether to
live with Mom or Dad.
While parents may feel they are being fair in giving
their offspring a choice, it puts the children in the
impossible position of choosing which of their
beloved parents they are going to offend and
disappoint. Even when both parents insist that
they will not be hurt either way, a child will
usually feel a great dilemma and huge pressure to
make the right choice.
3. However, at the other end of the spectrum, when
couples are unable to agree, amicably, on the
custody of their children, they may end up
fighting it out in court. This sometimes leads to
children being made to appear in court and
explain their feelings, which is not in the best
interests of any child.
Court is a cold and frightening place for children,
especially when their family structure is being
debated and deconstructed. The best thing for any
child is to have both parents agree on what is in
their best interests and then be told what is going
to happen. In most cases, when parents agree and
decide on something, the children happily accept
it.

attorney with almost 30 years of experience,
announces a use of new and personalized
methods of helping couples choose how to
divide the custody of the children when
divorce becomes inevitable.
By guiding and advising families in a
comfortable environment, Theodore H.
Enfield gives them the opportunity to settle
their custody case between them, without
dragging it through court.
5. Child custody then just becomes a case of
completing and signing paperwork rather
than a dramatic battleground that could
emotionally harm the children.
Children need to feel safe, they need
structure and boundaries, and when Mom
and Dad have agreed on something, most
children will feel comfortable with it.
6. Divorce is often a painful and dramatic
conclusion to years and years of trying to
make a marriage work. By the time a couple
is looking for a child custody lawyer in
Miami, there have probably been many
attempts at reconciliation and mediation.
At this point, the children may have already
become aware of the situation and it is in
their best interests that a resolution is
reached quickly.

situation needs is an attorney with many
years of experience, specializing in child
custody. In his family law office in
Miami, Theodore H. Enfield has helped
countless families reach a fair and
amicable conclusion with the least amount
of distress caused to the parents and
children.
