Filing for custody opens your life to intense court scrutiny, making it essential to have your personal affairs in order before petitioning. Being prepared with a stable environment and documented involvement is critical to proving that granting you custody is in the child's best interest.

•Establish a Consistent Caregiving Routine: Show the court that the child has been with you consistently so that continuing the current arrangement makes legal sense. • Secure Stable Housing: Ensure you have a permanent and safe place to live before filing, as the court needs to know exactly where the child will be residing. •Document Your Parent Involvement: Keep records of your participation in the child's schooling, medical appointments, and extracurricular activities to prove you are the primary caregiver. • Maintain Child-Focused Communication: Provide proof that your interactions regarding the child are centered on their needs and well-being. • Avoid the "Johnny-Lately" Perception: Ensure your request for custody is backed by long-term involvement rather than appearing as a sudden reaction to the other parent's petition.
