Custody Agreements: Security During Child Visitation
If you are starting or in the midst of separation, divorce, or custody battles, the emotional and physical toll for the entire family can be debilitating, and when children are involved, the decisions made during this time can have significant impacts on their mental health. As a parent, making the decision that’s best for your children, whether court-mandated or not, is your top priority. Fortunately, there are resources available that can alleviate some of this stress, especially for those going through visitation.
By utilizing security resources, such as the child visitation security offered by Chesapeake Security, you can be assured that you and your child will be protected throughout each exchange and visitation. Here, the Maryland and D.C. security professionals at Chesapeake Security provide an overview of how security-supervised child visitation works, and why it may be the right decision for your family.
When You’re Concerned for the Safety of Your Child
For any child, a change in their family unit can be jarring. For young children, their inability to process what is happening can lead to changes in their behavior, and potentially a noticeable change in relationships with one or both parents. Although older children are able to process separation, divorce, and custody, this does not negate the need for prioritizing their safety when parents are unable to resolve their differences. Beyond the inability to be amicable, emotional, verbal, and physical abuse between partners pose severe concerns for the safety of the children, and during the custody process, visitation can feel emotionally taxing as you worry about the safety of your child. Whether your visitation is court-mandated or not, considering security during this time is of utmost importance.
When You’re Unable to be Amicable with Your Ex
While it is unfortunate, the majority of divorce and custody cases occur between spouses who do not have an amicable relationship. Although the level of distrust, fear, and frustration varies significantly between parents, the emotional toll that the legal process of divorce and custody causes heightened emotions for all parties. Throughout this process, you want to do all you can as a parent to minimize the impact of this on your child, meaning any resources that you can utilize during the custody decision process should be taken into consideration.
Requesting security for child visitation is a thoughtful and proactive solution to minimize the concern for your child’s safety. At Chesapeake Security, our entire team of security officers is composed of those with significant law enforcement experience, all of whom have substantial familiarity with the Maryland and D.C. legal system. Our security officers are armed to prioritize the safety of all parties involved, and during each visitation, our primary concern is the safety of your children. We understand that the custody process can feel extremely overwhelming, and requesting security during this time can bring you one step closer to relief.
When You’re Concerned About Problematic Behavior
As we’ve stated before, divorce and custody can bring out the worst in almost anyone. If your ex-spouse has a history of problematic behavior, or their negative and destructive behavior has increased during this period, seeking security options can help minimize disruption. While you may be looking out for the best interest of your child, your ex-spouse may not. If they exhibit tendencies that are self-destructive or could have a negative emotional or physical impact on your child, seeking security is in your best interest. Having the presence of a security officer during all visitation periods provides a level of authority that a court representative may not be able to give, decreasing the likelihood for negative behavior to occur and helping your child cope with this impactful experience.
