communication is the key

Custody Exchanges

It is not that uncommon to read the headline "Custody Exchange Turns Violent". Everyday parents all over are faced with the issues and stress related making parenting time or custody exchanges with their co-parent. For most families, these exchanges happen all the time without any major issues. However, for a small percentage of the population, these exchanges can erupt to the point where law enforcement becomes involved.

The biggest thing parents can do to help avoid these ugly fights is to communicate regularly to ensure that everyone knows what is going on.  Simple issues become complex very quickly, especially when deadlines and coordination can affect the outcome. Many parents have turned to tools like the OurFamilyWizard website to help clear any confusion and provide an up to date reservoir of information that either parent can turn to. In addition, the OurFamilyWizard website keeps very accurate and detailed records to help avoid the “he said/she said” excuses that plague parents who can’t communicate.

However, some families habitually see the exchanges turn into giant disruptions that are not healthy for the children to witness. As a result, some families end up in supervised exchange programs. In some areas, these supervised exchanges take place at a local police station. However, there are many specialized drop-off locations that are beginning to appear across the country.
