After divorce is finalized, a parenting schedule is usually specified for each parent, depending on his or her circumstances. Parents are advised to fight for all the time they want and feel they can give for the child. However, once the child gets older, around the age of 9 or 10, and chooses to extend or lessen time spent with a parent, it must be considered. It is a child's legal right to contact a parent as he wishes but supervision or prohibition is made in special cases where the child may be in danger. Some parents may also be required to take parenting classes.
Divorced parents must always consider their children's welfare during this difficult time. Children are usually the victims of this unfortunate event. Though fighting for custody is a parent's instinct, it will make you more of a good parent to settle on what will be good not just for yourself but your child. Consider any aspect that may keep you from being an effective parent before committing to more than you can handle. Take into account your work schedule, priorities and other factors that may affect your ability to be a father. Accordingly, spend as much quality time with your child after divorce. This will help them heal better. As impossible as it may seem, it is recommended to give in to an agreeable settlement with your partner for your children's sake. Now would be a perfect time to put your personal rifts aside and think of the real sufferers in this situation.
