Child custody is one of the most sensitive aspects of divorce, determining who will have custody of the child and who will pay child support. That said, it’s important to note that despite your strong convictions and feelings, your words could impact your child’s well-being, your relationship with them, and the judge’s final decision.
Here are a few comments that could affect the outcome of your child custody proceeding:
Your words could make or break your child custody proceedings. As such, watch them carefully and consult your attorney before making public statements. Do your best to keep your emotions in check, and if you must vent, only vent to your lawyer or someone you trust. We also recommend staying off social media and limiting alcohol use, which may lead to careless remarks.
