Child custody and support forms can be prepared by trained legal assistants. Child custody and support can be an emotional challenge for both the parents and children. In situations involving children it can be less stressful if the case is handled by a mediator. This will allow the parties in a child custody or child support case to talk out their issues. The issues in custody and support can be resolved without a judge. The order for child support and/or custody can be modified and generally serves to meet what is in the best interest of the children.
Child custody can be difficult as it can cause a separation of the children from the only life they've grown to know. Changing a child's living arrangements in a custody matter can also affect the child support that would be given to the parent entitled to support. When making decisions regarding children the children's best interest should always be first priority.
