The Couple Or Not logo uses a question mark snuggled up to an upside down question mark, with the open ends of the question marks facing each other, to symbolize communication and closeness on the left side of the logo. On the right side it shows the two question marks apart and facing away from each other, symbolizing a lack of communication and distance between the members of a former couple.

Your Pocket Guide To Child Custody

Go here for your Free Sample Chapter! One of the hardest issues for courts and couples alike is disputes over child custody. It is terribly sad when people who can no longer live together have to give up their day to day interactions with their kids. The hardship of being a "weekend parent" can't be over estimated.

Sometimes, the heartbreak of a custody fight cannot be avoided. One parent is clearly not a good choice to have the majority of the responsibility, but insists that she should have the kids to either receive or avoid paying child support. Sometimes a person's instability, temperament, alcohol or drug use makes that parent a poor candidate for raising children.

Sometimes, people focus on the wrong aspects of their ex's life as a reason for starting a custody fight. If your partner had an affair, or behaved in an annoying manner, you have reason to be hurt and angry. However, the court won't look at anything but the child and his best interest in awarding custody, and if you focus on your ex's actions towards you, rather then the effect of her parenting decisions, you could lose your bid for custody whether you deserve to or not.
