Most custody battles can be avoided if the parents work together early during the separation and divorce process. Parents who create a custody agreement and parenting plan early on increase the chances of a successful relationship that protects the children.

If you know of parents who could benefit from guidance and direction in co-parenting the children you will be doing them a big favor by sending this message about how Kids First! can help them protect the children from adult issues.

Even if only one parent is cooperative they can still use Kids First! to present the court with a custody agreement and parenting plan. If one parent creates a detailed plan and agreement that are in the best interests of the child and the other does not, the judge will usually rule in favor of the parent who created them.
