A bit more advice

What judges consider during a custody trial is based on the “best interests of the child”, and they try to give custody to the parent who will provide the best environment and upbringing for the children.
To win your child custody case, you need to prove to the judge that it is in the best interest of your child to be with you. you need to be aware that your parenting skills and daily interactions with your child will be thoroughly inspected by a judge. Just telling the judge that you are a good parent is not enough. You need to provide documentation and testimony from witnesses to support you.
Keeping detailed, records is important in child custody battles. You need to show the judge that you have gone out of your way to nurture and care for your children. Because there is so much at stake, you also need to document any short-comings of your spouse that would be relevant to the custody case.
There are a number of ways that you can prove that you are a better parent. Below are some ideas:
Record activities with your children on a daily basis to help show that you are heavily involved in your children’s life on a continuing basis.
Attend all school activities, such as parent-teacher meetings, assemblies, school plays, and musicals. Try to interact with your child’s teacher and office support staff in an ongoing manner. Keep record of all the activities that you attend.
Be the parent who takes your child to the doctor and dentist. This will help support that you are a nurturing parent, plus provide witnesses that will testify that you are the parent who brought the children in most often.
Foster your child’s involvement in church and family activities. This will help prove that you are providing for your child’s moral upbringing.
Take your children on vacations and outings to show that you spend quality time with your children. If possible take pictures and keep mementos for extra documentation.
Get witness who have observed you interact with your child over a long period of time to support that you are a good parent. This includes relatives, teachers, doctors, child-care workers, neighbors, and friends
Remember document everything. CYA.
