Custody Battles can be Nasty

childcustody2094As an attorney, I see first hand the issues that come up in custody battles. Unfortunately, parents cannot put aside their hatred and anger towards each other and use the children as pawns in their unending quest to one up the other. I came across an article that discussed a mother’s abortion and how it was used in a custody case in New York. (see article: http://liveactionnews.org/mothers-abortion-used-as-evidence-in-child-custody-case/)

I don’t know the details of the case, however, it is an interesting question - should a mother’s abortion be used as evidence in a custody or other family law case?
