Child Custody Arrangements
[1].jpg)
There are two different types of custody arrangements that Tennessee parents
will need to discuss. These are physical custody (where the child will
actually reside) and legal custody (which parent has the right to make
decisions on behalf of a minor child.)
Not all custody arrangements are one-sided.
While some divorces may give one parent sole legal and physical custody, more and more parents are opting to work together for the sake of their children in a joint custody arrangement.
Not all joint custody cases are a 50/50 split. Instead, many custody cases involve a primary custodian. The other parent may receive a shorter amount of time with the children, but are still considered a custodian.
When determining custody arrangements, a judge will consider:
- The stability of the family unit
- The reasonable preference of a child over the age of 12
- The mental and physical health of both parents
- Any instances of domestic violence or abuse to a child or spouse
- The love, affection, and emotional ties of each parent to the child
- The length of time the child has lived in a stable environment
- Each parent's willingness to allow the child time with the other parent
- he character and behavior of any persons who live or visit each parent's home
- Each parent's potential performance of parenting duties
