Child Custody Series – Day 3

Continuing yesterday’s post, another factor the court will consider when deciding a custody arrangement is the stability and continuity of each parent.

The stability of a parent is demonstrated by and through the parent’s physical and mental health, balance in lifestyle (i.e., work-life balance), ability to handle challenges and stressful situations, and continuity of providing care and a stable and safe home.

Child Custody Series - Day 2
Continuing yesterday's post, one of the several factors the court will consider when deciding a custody arrangement is what is the child's preference.

Depending on the child's age or maturity level, their preference may be taken into account. However, it's important to note that the child's wishes are not the sole determining factor and are considered alongside other relevant factors.

Day 3 - “Stability and Continuity of Care” in our Child Custody Series will be posted tomorrow. If you want to learn more about child custody right now, give us a call at 505-717-2992 to speak with an attorney, or checkout our website: www.cassidybaca.com

Child Custody Series - Day 1
When parents cannot agree on custody arrangements, the court steps in to decide the best outcome for the child. Various factors are considered to ensure the child’s well-being. This includes considering the child’s age, physical and emotional needs, stability, relationships, and history of abuse or neglect.

One of the leading factors the court considers is “parental fitness” and involvement. The court will assess each parent’s ability to care for the child and make decisions in the child’s best interest. Aspects such as parenting skills, history of involvement in the child’s life and willingness to foster a healthy co-parenting relationship are considered.

Day 2 “The Child’s Preferences” in our child custody series will be posted tomorrow. If you want to learn more about child custody right now, give us a call at 505-717-2992 and speak with one of our attorneys, or checkout our website: www.cassidybaca.com
