What Factors Will the Courts Consider?
When the courts look to determine what is in the best interest of a child, they consider a variety of factors. Common factors that may be looked at by the courts in child custody and visitation cases include:
- The child's interaction and relationships with parents and extended family
- The logistics of integrating a child into a new neighborhood or new school
- The health of the child
- Physical and emotional health of both parents
- Any history of domestic violence
- Abuse and neglect
- Any criminal matters that may affect the wellbeing of the child
What You Can Expect if You are Not the Custodial Parent
Standard parenting time plans tend to grant the noncustodial parent time with the child every other weekend, an evening during the week and a rotation to determine where children will spend holidays. There will also be provisions dealing with summer vacations and other circumstances.
