What is Considered a High-Conflict Custody Case?
A high-conflict custody case is defined as any case in which there are allegations of domestic violence, child abuse, sexual molestation of the child, drug use by either parent, or negligence on the part of one or both parents. These cases tend to be more complicated than other custody cases; if two people do not get along well enough to work on an amicable parenting plan, it can be emotionally and financially draining for all involved.
In a high-conflict situation, both parents have significant psychological issues that affect their ability to parent their children in a healthy way. If these problems are not addressed through therapy and counseling, they often result in a more considerable degree of conflict between the couple even after divorce proceedings have been completed. A high-conflict custody case is not likely to end in the two parents working together and sharing equal custody of their child. Instead, it will typically end up in one parent gaining full custody and another receiving limited visitation.
The judge who presides over a high-conflict case will determine what type of parenting time each parent has with respect to keeping the child safe from further damage. A court may limit a parent’s visits after determining that the parent cannot provide a safe environment for the children or fails to follow terms set by a previous judge regarding an agreement they made between divorcing parties. In addition, if there is credible evidence that a child was molested or abused, it can be grounds for an argument against any parenting time between the child and an alleged abuser.
