When all else fails, it becomes necessary to take the only step left:

STEP #7: Litigation - The absolute last resort. If you have taken the time to methodically work through these steps properly, you can establish that you have the skills and the willingness to work things out.

Sometimes, it will be the most effective step. But you MUST not simply skip over the other steps. By objectively working your way through the steps that seem most appropriate, you will enhance the prospect of reaching this goal:

Winning = Peace for Your Child. That’s the power of “WAGING PEACE” over children instead of WAR…becoming a super effective advocate, focused solely on the ULTIMATE BEST INTERESTS OF THE CHILD

We’ve been often asked the question: “Why should you wage peace?  Aren't we there to wage war and really like rip the other person a new one?”

Absolutely NOT. That’s what destroys a child’s heart, mind and soul - Being caught in the middle of adult conflict. You’ve got to remember.  Children love mom and dad and when you're in the courtroom, warring against each other, you're actually ripping your child apart.

Children cope to the degree that their parents cope. And if both parents cope badly, children begin to EMULATE and IMMITATE that which they see their two primary role models present as “normal”, socially responsible behaviour. Children will either assume that this is the sensible way to behave, when in fact it only provokes and inflames matters.
 
The cardinal rule here is this: You are the adult. You had a childhood. It is now your kid’s turn to be a child. it's no longer about you. 

It's all about your kid - Show them your best qualities, even when it’s hard to do so.
