It is a widely held misconception that
custody of children is automatically
awarded to the mother – the child(ren’s)
best interest is paramount and that is what
determines where and with who the child
(ren) lives.
Where the safety of a child(ren) may be an
issue an emergency court appearance may
be necessary – a lawyer should be
consulted.
LET US BE YOUR VOICE
Both parents remain responsible for their children even if they live
apart and arrangements for their care (which includes their residence,
food, clothing and other necessities) must be worked out). The best
thing to do is arrange this before separation – consulting a lawyer is
advisable.
