Custody and its related issues are often the most difficult part of a divorce.
When determining custody arrangements, courts always look to the best interest of the child.
Determining what the best interests of a child are depends upon many factors, including the: * Child's age, gender, mental and physical health * Health of parents * Lifestyle and other social factors of parents * Love and emotional ties between parent and child * Parents ability to provide food, shelter, clothing and medical care * Quality of schools in a given locale * Child's preference if the child is over 12 * Ability and willingness of the parent to foster a healthy relationship between child and other parent * Stability of the environment
