Custody Issues Social Workers in Albany, Oregon

Many people face the challenge of negotiating custody arrangements during a separation or divorce. Understandably, any changes to relationships with children can be distressing. Aside from worrying about the child and how the issues might affect their future, negotiating custody can be time-consuming, involve stressful legal proceedings or fees, and create conflict with the other parent.

Both parents and children can find it difficult to adjust to changes in relationships and living arrangements. When these challenges become especially prolonged or intense, they can lead to symptoms of common mental health conditions, such as depression or anxiety.

During this stressful time, therapy can help you better understand custody issues and develop strategies for dealing with any related mental health, family, or co-parenting challenges. Some individuals find working with a social worker individually to be helpful, while others attend therapy with the other parent/custodian of the child in couples therapy. Custody issues are often also stressful and confusing for children, who may benefit from a social worker who specializes in working with children.
