Parents that have children, and are not currently married to the father or mother of their child, should take time to consider having a Custody Agreement/Order in place. Often times, this consideration is put off because the relationship between the parents is working well and they are able to agree on decisions that are in the best interest of the child. It may even be the case that the parents are still in a loving relationship or plan to get married and do not see the need to "rock the boat". Individuals simply do not want to ask their partner to discuss plans in the event the relationship fails. Whatever the case may be, there is cause for concern if there is not a current Custody Agreement/Order in place.
Imagine a real life scenario: the father or mother of your child decides they are moving out of state and taking the child with them. Things may be fine for the first few visitations with your child but then the other parent begins to make excuses and decides it is too difficult to make travel accommodations and work out the visitation plan you both had envisioned and verbally agreed upon. If you now decide you want to have an agreement in place, you may be surprised and heartbroken to learn that you may have to travel to the state where your child now lives, hire an attorney in that state and attempt to reconcile the situation. In order to protect your children and ensure you do not find yourself in this position, or a similar one, call an experienced Mississippi Family Law Attorney.
