10 Witnesses to Consider That Will Win You Child Custody Cases

Filing for divorce can often lead to two people going their separate ways to lead happier and more satisfying lives. Many positive results occur when a couple decides to divorce.

However, these proceedings are never easy. Particularly when filing for divorce that includes child custody, these proceedings can become exponentially more challenging to settle.

Depending on the case and the issues involved, the following individuals might make excellent witnesses in your child custody action. Details, like names, addresses, and telephone numbers of each witness, along with a brief explanation as to what connection and knowledge the individual has that relates to your case must be provided early on in the case to your child custody attorney.

• A list of your child's teachers for the past two years
• Any therapist or other counselor is treating the children.
• A list of doctors or other medical providers treating the children.
• Friends or family members who have frequent contact with the children.
• Babysitters, daycare workers, nannies, or other providers of care for your children.
• Coaches, scout leaders, or other adults teaching or assisting with your child's extra circular activities.
• The names of any parent of a half-sibling to your children.
• Your pastor, minister, or other religious leaders who are involved with your family.
• The name of your or the other parent's therapist or counselor.
• The name of any Child Protective Service worker who has had contact or involvement with your family. 

Such a list is not intended to be inclusive. If you believe that other individuals have information relevant to your case, those names should be provided as well.
