Also, your legal rights without a custody order may depend
on whether or not you are married to the other parent. For more information, see Who has custody if
there is no custody order in place?
However, there are reasons people choose not to get a
custody order from a court:
Some parents decide not to get a custody order because they
don’t want to get the courts involved, and have an informal agreement that
works well for them.
Some parents may think going to court will make
the other parent mad, or they are worried that the court may award custody or
visitation to the other parent. If you
have concerns, you may want to talk to a lawyer or a local domestic violence
advocate to get more information and help in figuring out what is the best
decision for you. You can find links and contact information for resources in
your area on our VA State and Local Programs page and the VA Finding a Lawyer
page. You can also Contact Us to discuss your situation further.
