“Very often parents come to me who, in a state of resentment and stress, try to manipulate the child, each to pull him to his side,” lawyer Alexander Shcherbinin shares his experience. “But, firstly, we must not forget that both parents have equal rights to communicate with the child, unless they are deprived of their rights. And secondly, it is better to try not to bring the case to court: turn to psychologists, lawyers and resolve the case by mutual agreement. A child being questioned in court experiences incredible stress. He stands in front of the judge, waiting for a question, afraid to say something wrong. Trauma for life! If a trial can be avoided, it is worth making every effort to do so.”
