Determining Child Custody

When parents decide to divorce, they are given the opportunity to work through matters on their own to come to an agreement on all divorce-related issues, including child custody. The parents must determine whom the child will live with, and carve out a visitation schedule.

If parents cannot agree on the terms of a child custody arrangement, a judge will need to decide for them.

There are two legal definitions for custody in New York:

  • Legal custody: when parents are given the right to make important decisions in their child’s life, including decisions about education, religion, and medical care
  • Physical custody: when parents are given the right to have their child live with them

Each type of custody may be shared by both parents (joint custody) or held by one parent (sole custody). A custody determination will be based on the best interest of the child.

When deciding on child custody, the courts consider several factors, including:

  • The child’s desires, if they are old enough
  • The parents’ mental and physical health
  • Each parent’s ability to cooperate with the other parent
  • The work schedules of the parents
  • The parents’ ability to care for the child
  • Any presence of domestic violence, neglect, or abuse
