Part three of this series of five articles on child custody in Louisiana went over how it is that it can be possible to have a consent agreement be either informal or formal and some of the advantages and disadvantages of these options. The following article goes over the ways that child custody is generally set and some of the advantages and disadvantages of each of these methods of establishing child custody.The third method of establishing child custody (either after divorce or at some other time) is simply for the court to make a decision after weighing the best interest factors for the child. The problem with using this method is that going before a district court to establish the times and dates that each parent will have the child is that this can be a very contentious process wherein a lot is said negative about the other parent, which can have the effect of making it hard for the parents to come together after court for the benefit of their child. In other words, it is important that the legal process not become too contentious and jeopardize the child's family. But, after a divorce or other breakup it can be difficult not to want to win, especially when there are a lot of issues that the parties are unable to agree on how to settle.

This can be used when the parties are able to agree on certain issues regarding their child but are unable to agree on other issues that they would like the court to resolve for them. While this is certainly a much better way of resolving a family dispute after a divorce or other separation than to have the court make all decisions concerning your child or children, it still means that the negative consequences will still attach to at least the part of the judgment where the court weighs and balances the child's best interests before making its ruling.Taking this article as well as the previous two in sum, you have a number of options to go over with your divorce attorney and with the other parent before deciding on which way you would like to pursue in your case. For your family's sake, the hope is that you can find agreement with the other parent, but if not the court is there a step in and make a ruling on the child's best interest.
