A Family Law Attorney explains the top three most common mistakes she sees parents make during custody disputes that can result in severe consequences.

The courts want to see that the parents can put their differences aside and parent the child together, so refusing to co-parent is a big mistake. Likewise, refusing visitation is also a mistake unless there is an honest belief the child is in danger, in which case, an emergency custody order needs to be sought. Finally, social media and text messages are often used against parents in court. Parents should remember to keep in mind the importance of maintaining a respectful attitude online or it could hurt their case.
