there are a couple of things that i have
00:06
found
00:06
myself repeating to people that are in
00:09
custody disputes
00:11
one is of course to be honest
00:13
your credibility means everything in a
00:16
custody custody dispute and you need to
00:18
be honest and forthright with the court
00:22
with mediators and with your co-parent
00:25
the second thing i tell a lot of my
00:26
clients and they love it or hate it is
00:28
take the high road it’s hard for clients
00:31
sometimes especially when the other
00:34
party is slinging mud to
00:37
take the high road and not stoop to that
00:39
level but doing that isn’t going to help
00:43
certainly in your dispute in the court’s
00:45
view but also it’s just not going to
00:47
help your relationship it’s not going to
00:48
make anything better
