Nancy Chemtob speaks with the Chicago Tribune about an increase in custody arrangements.
Chicago Tribune: Custody arrangements in flux
Many couples are now making unconventional co-parenting work. A Houston couple that separated swap in and out of their children’s home every two weeks. Even though the couple separated, they wanted their children’s lives to remain as normal as possible, so they kept the home that they purchased together and raised their children in.
Nancy Chemtob, a New York divorce attorney, shares how co-parenting and custody agreements have changed. When Chemtob started practicing divorce law, mothers automatically revived full custody, she explained. But in 1999, Chemtob helped a father receive sole custody, and divorce cases began to shift, giving more and more equality to dads. Now we live in an age that is making custody arrangements more equal for both parents and children everywhere.
