Divorces can become very complicated. Even in the best of circumstances, divorcing partners will feel some pressure during the divorce proceedings. When child custody is involved, the pressure increases tenfold. Why?

No one wants their children caught in the middle of a custody battle between Mom and Dad. When that happens, there are no winners, and more often than not, it is the children who suffer. That’s why contacting a lawyer specializing in child custody is the best way to protect your interests and the interests of your child.

The primary responsibility of a family lawyer

  • As husband and wife go through the process of separating the family, they will generally look after their own interests and, in the best of circumstances, those of the children. Of course, each parent may have a very different idea of what is in the children’s best interests.

  • In such cases, each parent could benefit from an objective person to look after them during this difficult time. To be clear, we are not talking about a family mediator. Every lawyer handling a child custody case always has a responsibility to represent their clients to the best of their ability. However, they should be able to represent their clients without any emotional involvement.

  • Provincial child custody laws can become very complicated. The primary responsibility of a family lawyer in Montreal is to apply the custody rules set out in the Civil Code of Québec, while obtaining the best possible results for their clients.

Why protecting children is so important

When children are involved in a contentious custody battle, there are two important things a good lawyer should make their clients consider. First, it is vitally important that children have the opportunity to maintain reasonable and healthy relationships with both parents. It does no one any good for one parent to try to tear the other down in front of the children. A good lawyer would advise against it.

Second, someone needs to keep an eye on the children’s emotional and mental well-being during a divorce that includes a contested custody component. Unfortunately, parents can’t always do this because of anger and frustration.

A good lawyer will place the interests of the children on the same level as those of the parents. Yes, they have a responsibility to obtain the type of custody arrangement their clients desire. However, they also have an ethical responsibility to consider whether the client’s request is appropriate in light of the circumstances.

The goal of any custody battle remains to strike a balance between winning for the client and the children’s interest in being as safe and happy as possible.

Many children will react negatively to their parents’ separation. Since children cannot reach out to lawyers to look after their interests, they must rely on the direction set by both parents’ lawyers.
