Determining Child Custody in Kent County, Rhode Island
In an uncontested divorce, or through mediation, it is possible for parents to arrive at a mutually satisfactory custody arrangement. If parties cannot agree, however, then vital issues of custody and visitation will have to be addressed by a judge.
A court examines several factors to determine the best interests of a child:
- What each parents desires
- What the child wishes for (if the child has the maturity to articulate this)
- The child's relationships with siblings, each parent, and other relatives
- The stability of home life
- The "moral fitness" of each parent
- How well the parents can handle co-parenting
- Each party's physical and mental disabilities (if they could affect caring for the child)
Make sure your rights are protected!
Depending on what a judge deems to be of greatest good for the child, primary custody could go to either the mother or father, or joint custody could be ordered. Furthermore, a judge will likely go over similar factors for other custody cases, such as in relocation or modification hearings.
Whether the decisions are left up to a judge, or you and the other parties are trying to negotiate an optimal arrangement, you should not face these custody matters on your own. It is paramount that you have skilled legal counsel on your side to ensure your child's rights are well-represented, from crafting parenting plans to seeking child support orders.
