A misunderstanding between parents affects the children so much. If the two of them have to separate, they will have to decide on who will stay with the children and the court may send a custody evaluator to give his opinion. The following are some of the ways in which you can impress this expert and have him writing a report in your favor.

As a parent undergoing this assessment, your cooperation is very important as it will make the work easier for both parties. You will be required to answer questions, allow him to visit your home and kids and even give a list of people he can talk to. If you do not comply with the given orders and suggestions, you increase his chances of giving a report that favors your partner.

Honesty is another thing that he will be keen on. For him to make a good decision he needs to know a lot of things and he will hence ask so many questions. When answering these questions try to be honest no matter how irrelevant the question is. You never know why he asked it and if he realizes that you lied, he might conclude that you are not trustworthy.

Keeping time is a good way to prove that one is organized. Ensure that one is not late for the appointment and complete any given assignments on time too. The professional will also feel that you value his time as he works with a tight schedule and failing to show up on time will inconvenience him. Keep the dates and make the necessary adjustments to your schedule.

You should portray a good relationship between you and the kids. The court wants the children to end up with a parent they are happy being around. If he visits your home, it is good to prepare the food that they love and even play their favorite games together. If they make mistakes, correct them in a friendly manner.

As a parent, a big portion of your future plans should revolve around your children. When an expert inquires about your plans, he simply wants to know what you are willing to do for them to have a more comfortable life. The details you give him should be realistic and achievable. Do not make him feel that you are just making up your plan to impress him.

Try to be positive in your conversations. You should not spend a lot of time discussing the weaknesses of your partner. This is about the kids and not about your differences. If you do not focus on the children, the expert may conclude that you will not focus on them if given the custody. You will be too focused on getting back at your ex-partner.

Your home environment will be assessed. It should be comfortable enough for the children to play, study and even socialize with the rest of the community. If there are other people living with you in the house, they have to be friendly and responsible too. If he feels that the kids will not be comfortable at home, his recommendation will not be in your favor.
