Do you need help in a custody dispute?<\/h1>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

A custody dispute arises when separated parents<\/a> can’t agree on the custody of a child or on living arrangements and visitation. Custody refers to the legal responsibility for the child\u2019s care and upbringing. Living arrangements and visitation on the other hand concern where the child will reside and how they’ll interact with the parent they don\u2019t live with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A custody dispute must always prioritize the child\u2019s best interests, not the parents\u2019 wishes. If you and your ex-partner find yourselves in a custody dispute, the first step is to contact the family law services in your municipality. Here, you have to participate in a collaborative meeting before initiating a court process. The purpose of this meeting is to attempt to reach a solution without going to court. You’ll receive assistance in finding a resolution that benefits the child and works for both of you. If you can’t agree, the family law services will issue a certificate indicating that you attempted to resolve the dispute outside the court system. You can then use this certificate as part of your case when taking the matter to court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proceedings of a custody dispute<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Application to the District Court<\/strong>
If no solution is reached through family law services, one parent can submit an application for custody, living arrangements, or visitation to the District Court<\/a>. The court makes decisions based on the child\u2019s best interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social services investigation<\/strong>
The court may request that social services conduct a custody investigation. This involves meeting with both parents and the child to obtain a clear understanding of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Court process<\/strong>
If no agreement is reached, the District Court continues the process. The court can then decide on joint or sole custody as well as on living arrangements and visitation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
