Custody cases can often take a long time to resolve, and there are several reasons for this. One major factor is the involvement of experts, such as custody evaluators, psychologists, or other professionals, whose input can take time to gather and review.
However, another important factor to consider is the approach of the attorneys involved. In some situations, the case becomes what’s known as a high-conflict divorce. A high-conflict divorce typically occurs when two people simply don’t get along, in fact, they may deeply dislike or even hate each other.
Unfortunately, some attorneys feed into this conflict rather than working to resolve it. They may encourage one party to attack the other, which then leads to retaliation. One attack prompts a response, that response triggers another attack, and the cycle continues, creating a never-ending loop of disputes and delays.
To avoid this, it’s important to work with an attorney who can guide you toward resolution rather than conflict. A good attorney will know when to tell you, “Don’t fight this issue.” By choosing your battles wisely and focusing on cooperation, you can often reach a quicker and more favorable resolution for everyone involved, especially the children.
