I want to obtain parental rights and custody. Are there any requirements?

You asked about parental rights and custody. Usually, parental rights and custody are obtained through agreement at the time of divorce.

However, if such agreement is not reached, the family court designates the holder of parental rights and the custodian by considering the child's wishes, the child's age, the parents' financial situation, and various other circumstances.

Even if parental rights and custody are already with the other party, if it is judged necessary for the child's welfare, the family court may change matters related to custody.

You may think that economic factors are the biggest factor in designating parental rights and custody.

However, this is not necessarily the case. It would be good to emphasize the formation of attachment relationships with the children and the ability to maintain a similar level of parenting environment after divorce.

You also mentioned wanting to be designated parental rights and custody due to your husband's fault.

Collecting evidence of fault grounds may work more favorably in custody lawsuits.

I have seen many people struggle to collect materials proving their conditions while preparing for parental rights and custody lawsuits.

We recommend that you receive help from a family law attorney to establish a logical strategy to be designated parental rights and custody.
