There
are numerous things that can affect a child’s safety in a custody
situation. One of these things is the new friends and partners that a
parent may meet after a divorce. A Jacksonville

Child
custody problems are more prevalent than most people realize.
According to 2003 US census findings, 43.7 per cent of mothers with
custody and 56.2 per cent of custodial fathers are separated or
divorced. This means that many parents are raising their children
while separated from their spouse. Statistics show that the majority
of people who divorce eventually remarry or at least form new
partnerships. Not surprisingly, custodial parents worry about the
influence of these new partners on their children.

They
may have a reason to worry. Custody arrangements in a divorce are
usually based on information that is current at the time of the
divorce. However, the circumstances of a person’s life can change
dramatically – usually with no corresponding changes to custody
arrangements. A parent may meet a new partner who is a bad influence
– or is even actively dangerous – to the child the parent is
responsible for.
