Q: Im married. Marrage is real rocky and my wife has become very vendictive. Im worried about her setting up to take
Custody battle. I just had a woman come into our house with my wifes consent saying she was interviewing us to be a nielson ratings family but seemed like she was asking the wrong questions and was very nosy with seeing around our house. Could that be a lawyer or investigater of some sort. I know it sounds crazy but that was not a normal interview by any means
A:
It is unlikely that it was a lawyer who visited, since that would mean the lawyer could be a witness in the case. It is possible the visitor was an investigator. After 32 years of practicing divorce law, I might say that nothing surprises me anymore, but then someone does something I would have never imagined.
Seriously though, if there is an impending custody battle, the best things you can do for your child are to spend as much quality time as possible with him/her, get and stay involved in your child's life at school, with friends, at the doctors office, in extracurricular activities, and make sure that your child respects and listens to your spouse (you can do that by respecting and listening to your spouse), and reassuring your child that you will always love him/her, and do your best to make sure the child doesn't have to take sides in a divorce.
