What to Consider When Deciding Where Your Child Lives After Your Glen Burnie, MD Divorce
When you and your ex are deciding who takes the children and where they should live, doing so can be quite difficult. Youll need to keep your childrens best interests in mind when deciding, and here are a few things to take into consideration with your Glen Burnie, MD divorce.
Which Parent Will Allow Meaningful Contact With the Other Parent?
Just because you dont get along with your ex anymore, doesnt mean your child doesnt. In fact, your child still probably loves your ex as much as ever. Therefore, he needs to still have contact with him or her. Take which parent will allow the most meaningful contact with the other parent into consideration when deciding where the child stays. Its important for the child to see both parents, and leaving him with the parent who wants to keep him away may not be the best idea.
Who Is More Likely to Take On Both the Fathers and Mothers Roles?
Although the child will see both parents, he needs to stay primarily with the parent who will most likely be able to take on the functions of both parents. Being able to give that to your child often means he or she will transition and adapt well to the changes.
What Does the Child Want?
Although you may not always be able to grant a childs wishes, asking him what he wants may help determine the situation. However, if you feel that asking the child will make him feel bad, avoid doing this, as you dont want to place any pressure on the innocent child.
