Preparing a Parent for Trial
All family lawyers know that a custody trial is about what is best for the children. Parents may think they understand this, but often do not "own" the concept because they are so obsessed with their own problems. The hurt and anger over what has happened clouds their thinking. Facing the possibility of part-time parenting or substantially reduced parenting time, they have difficulty focusing on what is best for the children. This is not to imply that the parents do not care about their children's needs, but getting them to express their concerns for their children instead of using court time to vent, tattle, bicker and complain, is often a formidable task.
