Child custody is one of the most emotional aspects of a separation, divorce or any other circumstance where the parents, guardians or caretakers of a child are experiencing change. There are many options in handling disputes related to a child’s health, happiness and general wellbeing. Negotiations, mediations and the intervention of other professional assistance, such as a counselor, guardian ad litem, parent coordinator and custodial/psychological evaluator, are some of the ways to keep custody determinations out of court.
