Question: What factors are used to determine the custody and visiting?

I have been said that the courts will examine “the best interests of the children”for the determination of custody.” What is the average, exactly? What are the specific factors that a court will take into account in the determination of custody?

Response:

The criteria used to determine custody of the children varies with each State. For more information on the laws of caring for the child in your area, read the right care child in the United States.

In General, a judge will consider the following factors:

-Age children.

-The wishes of each parent.

-The quality of the relationship between the child and each parent.

-Mental and fisica-salute – each of the parents and children.

Each parent support and facilitate relations will continue to children with the other parent.

-The question whether a parent has provided the majority of the care of the children up to this point.

-The ability of each parent to provide a stable, loving environment.

-Capacity of every parent to provide for the physical needs of the children, emotional well-being and medical care.

-The level of adjustment and attack between children and their homes, the average school and community / neighborhood.

-As children are concerned by the continuous current custody arrangements or interfere with the agreement.

-The wishes of children (if you are able to express their desires).
