    What Many People Get Wrong About Child Custody Cases

    by Tony Gibbens


    When many people think about child custody, they imagine a more simple division of weekends and holidays. The common assumption is that the court will aim to split time evenly, keeping things "fair" between parents. But fairness to the parents is not the court’s priority. In every custody case, the overriding concern is the best interest of the child.Many parents are surprised to learn how much the court considers beyond just parenting time.

    What Many People Get Wrong About Child Custody Cases

    When many people think about child custody, they imagine a more simple division of weekends and holidays. The common assumption is that the court will aim to split time evenly, keeping things "fair" between parents. But fairness to the parents is not the court’s priority. In every custody case, the overriding concern is the best interest of the child.

    Many parents are surprised to learn how much the court considers beyond just parenting time. Stability in the child's day-to-day life plays a central role. That includes where the child attends school, how long they have lived in a particular home or community, and whether uprooting them would disrupt their education or social development.

    Work schedules also weigh heavily. A parent who works nights or travels frequently may face challenges securing primary custody, even if they are otherwise a capable caregiver. Courts want to ensure the child has consistent care and supervision, which can mean favoring the parent with a more predictable or flexible schedule.

    In some cases, the child's own preferences can be taken into account. While the court does not let children decide outright where they want to live, older children may be given the opportunity to express a preference. The judge will consider these views in light of the child’s age, maturity, and reasoning. However, this is just one factor among many.

    Emotional and psychological health also matters. The court will look closely at each parent's ability to provide a stable and nurturing environment. Any history of substance abuse, domestic violence, or neglect will be closely scrutinized. Additionally, courts pay attention to how well the parents communicate and cooperate with one another, particularly when joint custody is being considered.

    Ultimately, preparing for a custody case means understanding what the court values most. Parents who approach the process thinking only in terms of time or fairness to themselves may find the outcome frustrating. Those who understand the broader picture — especially the court's focus on the child’s stability and well-being — can find themselves better equipped to present a strong case.

    Custody decisions are not about balancing rights between parents; they are about securing the most stable and beneficial environment for the child.
