Many couples end their marriages due to various problems, which is a natural phenomenon. Every family may encounter times when they don't want to face each other anymore. When the two can no longer live together, divorce may be the best option and the best decision to free each other. However, if the couple has children, the issue of custody becomes more complicated. Below is a summary of how to fight for custody in a divorce.
In many divorce cases, child custody is the most contentious issue. Many women hope that the judge will award custody to them. However, according to relevant provisions of China's Marriage Law, the resolution of divorce custody is based on protecting the rights of the child and taking into account the parenting abilities of both spouses to determine the allocation of custody.
So, how do you fight for custody in a divorce? It can be summarized as follows:
1. Economic situation
In today's society, raising children requires a certain source of income and a solid financial foundation to cover the expenses of their education and living during their growth. After a divorce, only one party is responsible for all of this, so economic status is a relatively important factor in determining the custody of children in a divorce.
2. Physical condition
If one spouse has poor health, such as suffering from a serious, incurable disease that requires long-term medication or follow-up observation, they may not be able to fully care for the child, making it difficult for such parents to win custody in a divorce.
3. Both parties' thoughts and lifestyles
The moral character of a couple can significantly influence a child's development. Therefore, if a couple wants to gain custody in a divorce, they must possess sound values and moral character, maintain a healthy and positive lifestyle, and have no bad habits such as gambling or drug addiction.
4 Children's Choices
In divorce custody cases, children's opinions are usually selective. Generally, the opinions of children over ten years old are heard, and the children's mindset is addressed to help them objectively choose custody.
