Sharing custody of your child can be a challenge, to say the least. Not only will you need to attempt to put aside any past hurt or resentment, but you will also need to actively work together with their other parent as a team to act in the best interests of your child.

There are many things that can cause a dispute between two parents sharing custody. The following are some tips for reacting to some of the most common interferences with child custody.

If you are embarking on a divorce, it's likely that you want to engage in a process that is as stress-free as possible. However, you will know that the divorce process is infamous for high tensions and battles between spouses. This is usually the case with a contested divorce, but it does not need to be this way.

Going through an uncontested divorce is generally preferred because it could mean that you are able to work with your divorcing spouse instead of against them, saving time and money, and having a less stressful experience. It could even help you get a better outcome overall. The following is an overview of what you should know before going through an uncontested divorce.

If you get married and the relationship doesn't work out, you may be at risk of losing a significant amount of your financial assets, particularly if you are the sole breadwinner in the household. This is why it is very common for high-asset individuals to ask their fiancés to sign a prenuptial agreement before marriage. This document should theoretically ensure that one spouse does not walk away from a failed marriage with their ex-spouse's hard-earned assets.

However, prenuptial agreements can be contested by the divorcing spouse in some circumstances, meaning that the asset division process continues to be subject to standard state law procedures. If you are considering whether to pursue a prenuptial agreement or you are worried that the prenuptial agreement will not hold up at divorce, you should take the time to understand how the law applies.

A person's religion can often be perceived as a deeply ingrained part of their heritage and culture. If you hold a certain religion, it's likely that you'll want your child not only to share your beliefs but to also engage in the rituals and rites of passage of the religion.

If you are separated from the other parent of your child and you are working to share custody, it's likely that you'll have questions regarding your right to bring up your child in a certain religion, especially if your child's other parent does not share your religion. You'll also want to ensure that your child does not become confused and conflicted as a result of being taught different things by each parent.
