The court will enter the final order of custody. However, in most jurisdictions the court looks favorably on custody agreements reached by the parents. The court will review any custody agreement to determine if it is in the best interest of the child(ren). Upon review, the court may approve or disapprove the custody agreement submitted by the parents. An experienced child custody attorney can assist you in preparing a custody agreement, which is acceptable to the family court in your area.
