When parents get divorced one of the most difficult things is to decide who has custody over their children. Custody battles can be a long drawn out process if both parents feel that they are deserving of custody and unwilling to give custody to the other parent.

These custody battles can create tension between each parent and can create stress on the children involved. Custody battles can be very painful for children as they watch each of their parents fight over the right to have custody.

Ira Turkat, who is an internationally known psychologist and an expert on the subject of child custody battles, has noted that parents, in desperation, will often will give false accusations that the other parent is turning their children against them.

In order to make custody battles less painful for your children always tell the truth and always look out for the best interests of the children before your own best interests. By looking out for the best interests of your children you can hopefully ensure that the settlement falls in favour of the parent who can offer the best possible future for your children.

This means your children will be living with the person who is most qualified for the job and who can provide them with the most stability and reliability
