How Does A Judge Determine Custody?
Ultimately, most child custody orders in Arkansas are determined by the court. While co-parents who agree on a custody arrangement often have quick approval, the courts still review every proposal to ensure your child is safe, healthy and well cared for. A judge considers a variety of factors when making child custody decisions, including:
- Who the child prefers to live with
- Each parent’s home environment
- The parents’ work schedules
- Any history of drug or alcohol abuse
We’ll develop a strong argument that outlines why the best place for your child is with you.
