When Your Child Refuses to Go – Episode 304 of the Divorce University Online Podcast. Children refusing to transition to the other parent can become a very problematic issue in child custody. We tend to see this more frequently in the teenage years but I have seen it happen even with young children. Sometimes, it can be so severe that a child will self-harm if forced to go. However, the Court expects the parent, not the child, to be in charge. So, you must learn to strike a delicate balance of supporting the other parent while also ensuring your child's safety.

Determining What Is Important in Child Custody – Episode 301 of the Divorce University Online Podcast. One of the biggest struggles I see for parents is understanding what is and isn't important to the Court in your child custody case. What seems logical to us is not always what is important to the Court. Parents often focus on whether they are a better parent than the other person, or the other parent's history, or how the other parent has behaved toward them. We are essentially looking at the situation through a moral lens, but the Court looks at your case through a legal lens. To succeed, it is critical that you understand the difference.
