When it comes to child custody agreements, there are a lot of
misconceptions that people have had and shared over the years.
These misconceptions interfere with many peoples'
understandings of child custody and what is legal and normal in
these situations. Read on to learn about seven common
misconceptions about custody agreements so that you can better
understand the child custody process and receive the outcome you
want.
You Have To Go to Court
This misconception might have begun in TV and other media
because, more often than not, deliberations occur in a courtroom.
While many cases end up in court because of an inability to reach
an agreement over a custodial arrangement, that doesn't mean
that time spent in court is a requirement. Rather, you will only
need to go to court if you both agree to go to court or if one
party is unwilling to rely on alternative solutions.
