How will I present evidence if custody must be litigated in court?

In preparing for a custody case, be aware that your parenting skills and daily interactions with your children will be thoroughly inspected by a judge. You will want to continue being the best parent possible. The people who have had close contact with you and your children may be called as witnesses, when it comes time for trial. By continuously acting in the best interests of your children, you will provide your witnesses with positive testimony for your case. In addition, you may want to secure photographs or videotapes of the rooms of the place where your child would live with you, as well as photographs of your neighborhood and yard. Photographs and videotapes serve to sharpen a judge’s personal experience with you and your children. Such engagement might lead the judge to take a greater interest in your side of the custody case.
