How Child Custody Decisions Are Made

Courts will make custody decisions based on what best supports a child’s health, stability, and overall well-being. Here are some factors that will play into your child custody case:

  • Your child’s best interests, including emotional, physical, and developmental needs
  • Each parent’s ability to provide a stable and supportive environment
  • The existing relationship between the child and each parent
  • The ability of both parents to cooperate and make decisions in the child’s best interests
