For Moms Who Do It All: Custody Isn’t Off the Table
A demanding career does not mean a parent will lose custody. The family law attorneys at Orsinger, Nelson, Downing & Anderson counsel clients through custody concerns by shifting the conversation, presenting the best case possible, and ensuring they have the professional support needed to thrive as a family. The problem with the discussion over custody issues is the focus on the parents. One parent “wins” and the other parent “loses.” The decision, however, is about the children and what’s best for them. Regardless of gender, judges are much more likely to award primary custody to the parent who is the primary caregiver. In a two-career household, there is often already a support system in place to keep things running smoothly. For those anticipating divorce, being an active and involved parent can make a big difference. Having reliable help, such as a caregiver for school pickups, doctor’s appointments, and after-school care, can provide much-needed stability. While nothing replaces a parent’s presence, setting up this kind of structure and support before divorce proceedings can help both parent and child through the transition.
