How to Get Child Custody

If you want to obtain custody of your children, you must convince the judge that it’s in your children’s best interest to be placed in your custody. When a judge is determining a child custody arrangement, the most important thing he/she will consider is what is in the best interest of the children.  As long as you can prove that it’s in your children’s best interest to be in your custody, then the judge will have no reason not to grant you at least shared custody. 

To determine what’s in the child’s best interest the judge will consider a number of factors, such as:

• Your physical health
• Your mental stability
• Your financial security
• Your ability to care for your children
• Your relationship with your children
• Your lifestyle habits
• If you have a history of alcoholism, drug use, or abuse
• The child’s current routine
• If the child would have to move to be in your custody
• The child’s preference, if above a certain age
