Child Custody and Visitation
What kinds of things does the court consider in making a custody determination?
A: The courts are required to consider a number of factors under the statute, which is Section 20-124.3 of the Code. The age and health of the child, the age and health of each parent, the relationship existing between each parent and each child, and the role that each parent has played in the upbringing of the child are just some examples of the factors.
In any custody case it is vitally important for the attorney to review with you the statutory factors and to discuss the facts of your case as they apply to the statute.
