Child Custody mentally and physically affects the children. A child always wants to live with both parents and share love and care with them but after child custody, it affects the mental and physical growth of the child. The most important issues after child custody are the following;

Parental Alienation:

In Parental Alienation, one parent mentally manipulates the child and forces the child to hate the other parent. It is the most important issue after child custody. The parent who has custody of the child can easily put anything in the mind of the child. When a parent repeats the same thing for 24 hours then it will automatically make a place in the mind of the child and he will start to believe in it. Due to Parental Alienation, the child is not ready to meet or talk about the other parent.

Emotional Trauma:

Emotional Trauma means is damage or injury to the psyche after living through an extremely frightening or distressing event. It is the biggest issue after child custody. The child suffers from emotional trauma as he is unable to live freely, share love with both parents at the same place. The separation between the parents damages the child mentally and physically and increases emotional trauma.
