Child Custody Laws – Safeguarding Parent-Child Relationship

No bond is more precious than which exists between parents and their child. Hence, during custody disputes between parents undergoing divorce or marriage annulment proceedings, family law courts in the United States ardently try to protect this bond. Although state appellate and federal district courts have varying perspectives regarding child custody, they both uphold the fact that parents have the Constitutional right to rear and nurture their children and this can’t be taken away from either parent without due process of law.
