In this episode of Gavels Down, Voices Up, I delve into one of the most sensitive aspects of family law: child custody, visitation, and co-parenting. With a focus on achieving fair arrangements and considering the best interest of the child, I share my courtroom experiences and insights to help parents navigate these challenging situations.

Key Takeaways:

• Visitation and Timeshare: Learn about the concept of visitation, or timeshare, and how it plays a crucial role in co-parenting arrangements.
• Co-Parenting Challenges: Discover strategies to avoid using children as pawns and how to handle a controlling or narcissistic ex-partner.
• Legal Standards: Understand the legal standard of "best interest of the child" and how courts view parents' decisions and actions.

I emphasize the importance of creating a positive co-parenting environment, even in high-conflict situations, and offer insights on how to maintain a healthy

relationship with your children. Whether you're currently in a custody battle or looking to improve your co-parenting dynamics, this episode provides valuable guidance and support.
