Do parents have to go to court to arrange custody/child support?

286 viewsOther

Like, can they figure it out amongst themselves or do they have to go to court?

Is it different for each one? (e.g. you have to go to court for child support but not custody)

Yes, divorcing couples are legally allowed to work out child support and custody agreements between themselves without going to court. However, most couples fail to do this. Almost by definition, divorcing couples don’t have much trust in each other or good communication, so working out complex, life-altering agreements usually fails. Most of the time they need a judge decide the details of their custody and child upper agreements and they might go back to the judge later to enforce the agreements.
