How is custody determined?Custody is determined by considering the best interests of the child. Factors may include the child's age, health, emotional ties with parents, parents' ability to care for the child, and the child's ties to home, school, and community. Courts aim to facilitate stability and continuity for the child.
-
What if a parent violates the custody order?If a parent violates a custody order, the other parent can contact the court to report the violation. The court may enforce the order through legal means, including sanctions or modifications of custody arrangements. It is best to document violations and seek legal counsel to address these issues properly.
-
Do children have a say in custody decisions?Children's preferences may be considered by the court, depending on their age and maturity level. While a child's opinion is taken into account, it is not the sole factor in deciding custody. The court prioritizes the child's best interests above all when making decisions.
-
What are parenting plans?Parenting plans are detailed agreements between parents outlining how they will raise their child post-separation. This includes scheduling, decision-making, and dispute resolution methods. A well-crafted plan helps ensure both parents are engaged in the child's life and can help minimize conflicts.
