Cupid’s Advice:
Custody battles are hard times for any family. They can put enormous stress on not only the parents involved, but the children as well. Here are some of Cupid’s tips to make sure that custody battles don’t affect your children:
1. Remind them that it is not their fault: Some children may think that their parents splitting up may be because of something they did. Make sure your children know that they did nothing wrong, and the argument at hand is between you and your former partner, and they had no cause in getting to this point.

2. Tell them you love them: While you and your former partner may not be on good terms anymore, make sure your children know that no matter the outcome, it does not mean you don’t love them any less. Even if your children won’t be living with you after the fact, have them know that you will always be with them in their hearts, even if you are not able to be there physically.

3. Remind them and yourself, that this is in their best interest: A custody battle would not be occurring without viable reasons, whether it be on your part or your former partner’s. Take the time to remind your children that doing this will only benefit them, and give them a chance for a better future.
