Many factors go into determining custody. Courts will look at the many factors when deciding who will be awarded custody.

The court will consider the following factors:

• The best interest of the child;
• Past parental involvement/participation in the child's life;
• How much the parents can co-parent regarding visitation and access to the child;
• The stability of a household;
• Consistency in the child's life (Courts try to avoid disrupting the child's current routine as much as possible);
• Abuse, abandonment, or criminal backgrounds of the parties; and
• The child's wishes (12 years old and older)
