What Courts Take Into Consideration During A Custody Hearing…

Child custody battles can be painful for everyone involved. Unfortunately, when a divorce occurs with children, it can sometimes get even messier trying to decide who the child/children should live with. There isn’t a guarantee that a judge will side with you or your ex.

How Is Your Relationship With Your Child?

One of the things a judge will take into consideration is how you and your child get along versus their relationship with your ex. They will also want to see who can spend more quality time with them and who can better provide for them.

Can Your Child Choose Who To Live With?

There are some cases, depending on age, that a judge or a person from the court may ask your child who they prefer to live with.

How Is Your Overall Mental And Physical Health?

Both parents mental and physical health will certainly play a factor in deciding custody. A judge will want the child to live with the parent who doesn’t have a short temper and is in the best health so they can take care of the child’s needs first.
