How does the court determine the child’s best interests in custody cases?
0 CommentsThe court considers various factors, including the child’s age, health, emotional ties with each parent, stability of the home environment, history of abuse or neglect, and the child’s preferences if they are of sufficient age and maturity to express them, among other factors. The factors in California are set forth in Family Code §§ 3011, 3020 and 3040.
