Sole custody does not mean that the children don't see the other parent.
The non-custodial parent still has visitation rights.

Pros, you know exactly how your child is being raised, cons, he misses his dad.
My son sees his dad every other weekend and we have been doing this for 12 years. My son loves his dad regardless how I feel about him.
I do have complete physical and legal custody of my son.
We both agree, my ex husband and I that the arrangement is the best thing for our son and always will be.

unless the other parent was abusive, why have sole custody? If the other person is able to be a part of the childs life it is very important that you share custody, Children miss the other parent whether they were good or bad. They are not totally capable of understanding the events of life. On the other hand we as adults let our own feeling cloud reason. If you are the sole parent you have to be both and on call 24-7. No time at all for yourself. are you ready for this?

The pro of the fact is that u and the child (ren) never have to see the other Parent unless they have visitation right like being over there around the holidays. u never have to worry about coming home and seeing new marks on their body if in bad relationship.
The cons can be that u may not be able to spent a lot of time with them if u have to work longer hours to support both of u. Hiring a babysitter to sit th child until u get home. Wanting to give the child things and not being able to do it.
It all boils on what u can and cant do. Some people are good at it. Others can't. it all depends on the situation is with the parent.

I see no pro's in raising you children by yourself. The costs rest solely on your head and that can be stressing, causing you to work more, and abandon your paternal obligations.
There is no way that a single person will be able to fulfill all the demands of a growing son/daughter. At some point or another, your son or daughter will need the perspective of the other parent, and he or she better be able to provide it.
Ther are a lot of cons, to numerous to list here. DONT DO IT, try to be as reasonable as possible and be very civilized. I don't believe that two mature adults cannot reach a consensus, unless one of them is clinically insane or disabled, and/ or under a drug or alcohol addiction... and that can be helped too sometimes!

Pros: You get to experience their life in full and know what are their likes and dislikes. You get to see them everyday, heal them when their sick and share their first experiences. See them smile on Christmas morning or on their birthdays.
Cons: If you're a full time parent sometimes it's hard to get away. You can't just get up and go like you used to. You may be up all night when they're sick and clean up after their mess.
Overall, because of the pros the cons are not big to me. I love being a full time mother and it has been a challlenging but beautiful experience.

No matter what the relationship is like between the both of you , both of you guys need to be the adults that you're supposed to be and only think about whats best for your kids !! Kids always come first no matter what !!! Kids need two parents! Life is way too short and kids grow up way too fast !!!!! Both parents should enjoy and treasure every second with there kids while they can !!! Before you know it the kids are grown and the time waisted is lost and forever gone !!!!

There is no con. The best thing for a kid in a slpit is for at fault party to dissappear and the responsible party to make it on their own. It teaches the children values.
Children don't need relationships witha parent(s) that can't make a marrage work.

Well...you can raise your children how YOU want to and think is best for them... you would be the only judge, and that feels safe in some cases. Then again, you might sometimes feel like you need support. Like you need a second opinion or just help in general.

A con would be that the child never sees the absent parent.
