It is very often the case after a divorce that children end up with one parent almost by default. The reason for this is that the parties to the divorce are often so consumed by the whole process of ending their marriage that the really important work of looking out for the welfare of the kids fall by the wayside. The purpose of this article is to help you to prevent this from happening by reminding you of the importance of approaching child custody agreements with a solid strategy in place. It is obviously much easier to sort out the best possible child custody agreement at the outset than to try and remedy past mistakes. The custody status of your children should therefore be approached in a collected, well thought out and deliberate manner. It is so easy to go on an emotional roller coaster ride and to approach custody issues with terms like 'battle' and 'war' ringing around in your head! The thing is that even if you see things in warlike terms you still need to keep in mind that the one thing that is most important for those operating at the highest levels in the military can be summed up in one word: Strategy! Strategy can be defined as a well thought out set of plans and/or procedures that you will follow to achieve a certain goal. It also involves the study of certain variables and likely responses to them. It is the kind of thing that needs to be approached with clear thinking and with a cool head. It should be noted that merely going in 'with all guns blazing' does, in most cases, not qualify as being a 'good strategy'! You owe it to yourself, and most of all to your kids, to have a good long think about ways in which their best interests can be served. You should also do everything that you can to familiarize yourself with the world of child custody agreements and with tactics and techniques that can form part of your overall strategy. Thinking strategically does not come naturally for most of us, but it is a vital part of achieving the best possible child custody agreements. I would therefore encourage you to, if you are facing child custody issues, do everything that you can to approach this difficult phase of your life in the same way that a master strategist thinks about meeting a certain objective: Research, Analyze, Weigh Alternatives, Anticipate Responses, Decide, Act!
