How is custody determined?

Custody is determined by a number of factors that are considered by family courts in the best interests of the child. These factors may include the child's age, health, and emotional needs, as well as the parents' ability to provide a safe and stable environment for the child. Courts may also consider the child's relationship with each parent, their involvement in their child's life, and their ability to communicate and cooperate with each other. Ultimately, the court will make a decision based on what will best serve the child's welfare and ensure their wellbeing.
