How Does the Court Decide Child Custody?
Filed Under:
Question of the Day:
How do the courts find who the child (12 yrs) should live with? Her mother makes more $ than I, but I have been the primary care giver for the last 9 years, my schedule allows this. I want joint physical and legal, she wants full everything. – Tracy
Answer:
Tracy: The courts decide based on the best interest of the child. There are many factors that go into this and primary care giver is an important one. Another is the report of the custody evaluator. But it pretty much means whatever judge thinks.
