If you are facing custody concerns, our law office knows how difficult this is. However, if you are an older adult, you likely have additional challenges to work through when it comes to child custody. From dealing with a hostile ex to handling personal health issues, there are many difficulties that a lot of older adults have to work through when it comes to custody matters.
In this post, we will touch on some of the problems that people face when they find themselves in a custody battle or facing uncertainty over custody matters as an older adult.
Working through a custody battle
For some older adults, it is very difficult to work through a custody battle. For example, some older adults adopt children right before their marriage falls apart, while others have children later in life. Handling custody matters is especially hard for many people in this position, especially if they have health concerns, difficulties related to their memory and other issues to deal with (such as creating or revising an estate plan). However, child custody and the well-being of one’s children must remain a top priority.
Working with your ex
Sometimes, people have the ability to work together with their ex to resolve custody matters. If this is an option for you, make sure you defend your interests and safeguard your child’s well-being. In some instances, people are unable to find common ground with their former spouse and preparing for a bitter dispute over custody is essential.
