Abstract
Each year approximately 100,000 custody battles take place in the U.S. These disputes are typically hostile and stressful. Despite the commonality of intrafamilial conflict over legal custody, there is an absence of scientific and professional literature on the psychological nature of participating in custody litigation. The present manuscript describes the phenomenology of the custody battle participant. In so doing, the author identifies a behavioral disturbance unique to the litigation over one’s children: custody battle burnout. A typology of stressors specific to custody litigation is detailed. Criteria for identification of custody battle burnout are delineated. Recommendations for clinical practice and research are provided.
