Why do custody battles erupt in divorce?

The basis of many child custody conflicts is the inability of parents to understand why their child should maintain relationships with each of them. For example, why should a spouse who cheated be rewarded by getting time with the kids? When parents start to see each other as the enemy, it’s all too easy for a custody battle to break out.
