A Discussion On Child Custody

When it comes to child custody matters, a Stamford child custody attorney can explain to you the specific laws for your state. However, even though laws vary, most judges in a custody battle will always look out for the best interest of the child. There will be many factors considered when a judge is trying to award custody. Some of these considerations will include:

  • Stability of home life. In some cases, one parent can provide a more stable environment for the child than the other.
  • Love and emotional bond the child has with each parent. The judge will closely look at the bond between the child and each parent. In some cases, the children feel more attached to one parent than the other.
  • Choice of the child. Some children may not want to live with a specific parent because that would mean changing schools or leaving family and friends. The judge will look at this closely.

Another very important issue that will be considered is if there was any type of domestic violence that took place within the home. This can include spousal or child abuse. The court will make decisions based within the law on child custody that protects the child from harm. Child custody issues are often the most emotional and controversial part of a divorce proceeding.

Speaking with a Stamford child custody attorney about any issues that you may think will arise during this portion of your divorce is very important. Your attorney, if they are aware that there will be problems in this area, can help you gather the evidence you need to present to the Court to show why you should be given custody.
