21 Ways To Lose Physical Custody Of Your Children By Nicholl McGuire At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Before you file your divorce paperwork, be sure your life is planned in the way that you want others to view it-- positive, stable and politically correct. If you have to change everything about who you are for the sake of your children, then do it. Your strategy in a divorce is to make yourself look as if you "got it together." Don't divorce if you know the odds are not in your favor, no matter how much you would like to get rid of your spouse. The following actions will definitely put you in a position that you don't want to be in, so avoid them:

1. Telling your ex and others that may know your ex about the new man/woman you are seeing. Parading around town with him or her months after filing for the divorce.

2. Becoming pregnant or getting someone pregnant while married or within a year after your divorce.

3. Relocate without the children even if it is temporary.
