Getting divorced can be quite troublesome to some especially when there are other issues involved including child custody. This is perhaps the most contentious aspect in any divorce process as it involves an actual person cherished by both parties. You can now easily file for a quick divorce in the United States but until now, most divorce process is slow due to these kinds of arguments. The court cannot grant you a divorce if both parties do not come up with an agreement. You have to settle everything between you and your spouse in order to get a quick divorce.

If you have been lagged by your child custody issues, you need to hire a custody lawyer to help you settle things in a civil and legal manner. More than the money, the car, house, or any other possessions a married couples have; it is the child that is most important. Grandparents can even get involved so you need to plan carefully on how to come up with terms and conditions regarding your child or children's guardianship.

Another divorce that rippled Hollywood is Sandra Bullock's and her spouse, Jesse James. This also involves child custody issues because although they do not have children on their own, Bullock has three stepchildren with her husband. Jesse won the custody of Sunny, the youngest of the three with the help of Sandra. Even her recent speech in Oscar was strewn with references about her stepchildren and her great love for them. If they were to be divorced, she may not be even given the opportunity to see her stepchildren once more. If she wants to keep in touch with the kids, Bullock needs to negotiate with her husband about this. Otherwise, she might not get to see her stepchildren as much as she wants to.

If you know someone who is in the same position as Bullock or if you have the same dilemma as her, there are ways on how to get around this. The US law clearly states that you do not have the right to see your stepchildren once the divorce is over but there are other disreputable laws in the state.  Do not stop fighting for your stepchild, there are child custody lawyers across American that can help you win the case. However, if you want to be separated from your spouse immediately, negotiate for a visitation deal instead. Settle together a time or day where you can visit your stepchildren, that way you won't have to spend so much energy fighting for their full custody.  No-contest divorce is much easier for both parties so remember to talk and understand each other to hasten the divorce process.
