When deciding child custody
cases, court looks to the “best interest of the child.” But what does that mean? How do you show that your preferred custody
arrangement is in your child’s best interest?
The answer is to find a child custody lawyer in Bergen County, NJ who
understands the law.
Were you the primary
caretaker?
While we might want to
pretend otherwise, parenting is rarely a task split equally between two
parents. In many cases one parent will do
more of the day to day parenting than the other parent. That parent is referred to as the “primary
caretaker.” Being the primary caretaker
may be a point in your favor in a custody battle.

Where would your child go
to school?
A quality education is always
in the best interest of a child and if the parents live far enough apart that
it would affect where the children would go to school, the quality of
educational opportunities must be considered.
How is your health?
Taking care of a children can
be very demanding. If one parent is not
in good health that will make the task of parenting more difficult. The healthier parent may have an advantage
here. This includes both mental and
physical health.
How clean and safe is your
home?
Your home should be a place
that is safe for your children to live.
A home that is unsafe or unsanitary is unfit for a child to live. If you want a favorable custody outcome, you
should make sure that your house is clean and safe for your children.
