What You Should Know About Custody Agreements
When settling children’s living arrangements, judges consider which household will serve the child’s best interests. Most of the time, a joint custody agreement helps children feel more secure after a divorce. However, if either parent has a history of violence or abuse and won’t provide a safe home environment, the other parent will likely get sole custody.
Other factors a judge might consider include the child’s health and age and how much a move from one household to another might disrupt the child’s daily life. If you’re seeking sole or joint custody, the judge will look closely at your lifestyle, ability to take care of (including financially support) a child, and your relationship with the child.
