How Is Child Custody and Visitation Determined?

In most cases, unless something like substance abuse or domestic violence is involved, courts favor a continuing relationship with both parents for a child. If you and your spouse cannot agree on custody and visitation arrangements, the court will intervene and make decisions on your behalf.

When Making Custody Orders, Courts Consider:

• Each parent’s willingness and ability to cooperate with the other
• Each parent’s contributions to the child’s care so far
• Each parent’s wishes
• The child’s wishes if they are mature enough
• Any history of substance abuse, child neglect, or domestic violence
