Unjustifiable Acts in Child Custody Cases Messy child custody cases are seen all to often. Child custody cases can never be clean and pretty but the losing parent should not be able to justify rude comments‚ violent outbursts‚ attempted lawsuits‚ or lies by saying they were only trying to get what is best for their child.
