BROOKLYN, New York. Elliot Green Law Offices are divorce lawyers who work with both fathers and mothers on matters of child custody. As more parents share the workload in rearing children, more families are considering shared custody arrangements. Some fathers are also seeking arrangements of sole custody. The Guardian reports that 82% of mothers have custody of the children after divorce, with 29% of fathers retaining sole custody. However, these statistics may not reflect judge or jury bias favoring the father over the mother. 95% of child custody decisions are made outside of court, meaning that couples generally agree about who should have custody. In fact, making child custody decisions outside of court is often the best course, because taking child custody matters to a judge increases the likelihood that neither party will like the outcome and then be bound to it. The reality is that many families are looking into more flexible shared parenting time options that can change how child support and visitation is arranged.

BROOKLYN, New York. For some women, it’s easier to get a restraining order than to get a divorce. In North Carolina, couples must endure a one-year cooling-off period before they can file for divorce. The rationale behind the law is that couples, in a fit of anger or rage, may file for divorce and later regret it. According to the Journal of Law and Economics, a cooling off period in which couples are required to wait before they can divorce can reduce the divorce rate. While the cooling off period indeed reduces the number of divorces—these periods can have serious unintended consequences. Longer cooling off periods are associated with fewer divorces, but for women (and men) struggling to leave abusive marriages and relationships, these periods can mean the difference between life and death.
