Marietta Child Custody And Visitation Issues

Courts do not award child custody arbitrarily — they carefully evaluate what custody and visitation arrangement will be in the best interests of a child. Some of the factors a judge will consider include the:
  • Wishes of the parents
  • Wishes of the child (assuming proper age)
  • Past relationship a child has had with each parent
  • Health of all parties involved
  • Evidence of any past physical, mental or emotional abuse
  • Evidence of any drug or alcohol abuse
  • Living accommodations of each parent
  • Ability of a parent to provide a stable environment
  • Impact on a child’s education or other aspects of his or her life
Of course, this list merely provides examples of factors a court might consider. Each family situation is different and a court will evaluate every aspect that is unique to your family’s situation.
