They also serve as solid representatives and negotiators when arguing or mediating the exact terms of custody agreements.
The North Carolina Child Custody Laws And Guidance
Like most places, North Carolina and Durham County prioritize the needs of the children in custody matters and disputes. When these issues are brought to the courts, they award custody to the parents whom they feel can provide the environments that best promote the children’s welfare, needs, and interests.
This includes considering factors like each parent’s ability to provide for the children both physically and emotionally, the children’s relationships with each parent, the children’s preferences (if they’re old enough to have one) and the conditions of each living arrangement. They might also factor in circumstances such as each parent’s proximity to family, schools and the children’s activities. In addition, they look into whether either parent has a history of abuse.
Then, the courts determine the legal and physical custody of the children. Physical custody refers to what most people think of when they think of child custody, which is where the children will reside and spend their time. Legal custody, however, is just as important as it gives parents the authority to make decisions for their children. This includes decisions about education, religion and medical concerns.
