Divorced dads in Family Court face many problems,  challenges and obstacles with custody, access /  child visitation and child support issues. Well developed strategy and planning skills are absolutely necessary to succeed. You must first learn to master the fundamentals in anything you wish to succeed at.

Think of sports, like baseball. You must master the fundamentals of throwing, catching, hitting, running the bases and understanding where the play is going next. For example the first priority is to stop the opposing team at bat from scoring a run, So if there is a man on third base when the ball is hit, the play is going to home plate.  That's where the ball must be thrown the moment it is caught in order to prevent a run from being scored.

Next is keeping the opposing teams from advancing runners on the bases. So if there is a man on second base, you want to stop him from getting to third base. Alternately if there are two outs in the inning, perhaps the play is simply to first base to get the necessary third out to end that part of the inning for the opposing team.

These are baseball fundamentals.

Family Court works the exact same way. It's just the fundamentals are different. The first fundamental in Family Court is this:

"DON'T REINVENT THE WHEEL - DO WHAT WORKS, LOSE WHAT DOESN'T.

Half the problem for a lot of people is they think they got to make it up as they go along in Family Court.  They think that their case is so unique and so original that there is nothing that they could learn from cases that have gone before them. That's a HUGE mistake.

Look for success - it leaves clues.  Look for models of success and then apply that success to your situation. Find successful divorced dads, find winning lawyers for divorced dads - Model that success. Your second move - VISIT YOUR LOCAL FAMILY COURT OFTEN. Watch, observe, learn.

Don't reinvent the wheel. Model success. Find those models of success in your local Family Court house. You will be amazed at how things begin changing when you apply these two fundamental approaches to your custody, access /  child visitation and child support issues in Family Court. You will be at learning how to plan, prioritize and strategize your way to success, based on a model of success, instead of floundering badly, wondering why you are losing, but not knowing how to change the situation.

You now have the beginnings of a game plan. But no game plan can win for you and your children if you don't implement and execute what you are learning. You'll also need help along the way.
