Custody agreements are the heart of a custody case, and the hardest thing to get right. A custody agreement is supposed to outline how the children will be shared between each parents home, but when you are in a high conflict relationship, if your agreement doesn’t have details, all hell can break loose. As with any legal document, each party can “interpret” the agreement how they wish, and if there is a problem, often the only solution is filing a contempt petition and taking the issue back to court, costing you more money.

Often times, attorneys count on this, it’s the easiest way for them to make money. Attorneys will prepare a “Standard” custody agreement under the idea that the parents will do what is best for the children, but if you are here, chances are, your ex isn’t doing that. A custody coach is more concerned with helping you eliminate stress and get an agreement that actually works.

Mr Custody Coach gives you ideas to include in your custody agreement to stop problems before they happen, whether it’s where and how exchanges take place, how holidays are divided, where the children will go to school, who can sign them up for extra curricular activities, and at whose expense. While phrases like “reasonable contact” may work in custody situations where the parties can get along, it rarely works in high conflict relationships where one parents believes reasonable contact believes they can call their children every hour on the hour and if they don’t get an answer they call the cops to report that they are missing. It happens, we’ve seen it. Creating a custody agreement that anticipates problems, outlines solutions, and provides incentive for each party to follow the agreement is imperative in high conflict custody situations.
