FAQs
Why do I need a child custody agreement?
With a written child custody agreement, you, your former spouse, and your children will know what to expect and will have fewer conflicts over custody issues.
Does the child custody agreement have to be approved by the court?
The agreement should generally be submitted to the family court for approval. Given that courts strongly encourage parents to amicably reach agreements concerning child custody, a mutually agreed-upon plan regarding child custody by the parents has a high likelihood of being approved by the court. Once the agreement is formalized by the court either as part of a larger divorce decree or a separate order, it becomes legally binding.
