Factors in Determining Child Custody
When child custody and visitation is litigated, the court will determine child custody based on the best interests of your children. The court will use 12 factors in determining what the best interests of your children are, including:
- The love, affection, and other emotional ties existing between the parents and the children
- The ability of each parent to provide the child with material needs such as food, clothing and medical care
- The permanence of the existing or proposed living situation
- The home, school and community record of the child
- Domestic violence, regardless of whether the violence was directed against or witnessed by the child
