Going through a divorce can be a difficult process, both financially and mentally. The process can be even more difficult when children are involved. In most cases, the children watch helplessly as their parents go to battle in and out of court. This can be an emotionally draining experience as parents not only deal with their own issues but those of their bewildered and hurt or angry children.

There are several different factors that the courts take into consideration when deciding which parent will get custody of their children. The standard by which courts make their ruling is referred to as “best interest of the child.” This means that the court tends to grant custody to the parent that is most likely to provide the most stable environment. Some of these factors include:
When these factors do not clearly favor one parent over the other the court will give custody to the parent who has been the primary caregiver for the children. For older children, custody is awarded to the parent who is best able to foster continuity in education, neighborhood life, religion, and peer relationships.

Depending on the relationship between the non-custodial parent and the child, that parent may either be awarded liberal or more limited parenting time or visitation. Depending on the ages of the children, the court may appoint a law guardian to advocate on behalf of the children and convey to the court the wishes of the children.
