Get a Custody Agreement in Writing
By Erin Zimmerer, Esquire
Recently I have spoken to a number of people regarding custody agreements,
whether they need a written agreement or should just try to work something
out with the other parent. I always recommend that two parents try to
work out an agreement between themselves whenever possible. But even if
the two of you can agree on something, get it in writing. That is where
an attorney comes in. They take the agreement, write it up and take it
to the Court so it becomes a legally binding document. Anytime, two people
can agree on something, there are less hurt feelings and it is easier
to keep the communication lines open. But if the agreement is not made
into a Court order, it could be hard to prove what the agreement was and
what has been changed. Your children are the most important part of your
life. Make sure you protect them and your relationship with them.
