High Point Child Custody Factors

The High Point child custody courts consider many different factors and criteria when determining custody of a child. These factors can vary depending on the judge and the details of the case, but there is a common theme to all High Point child custody decisions, the best interests for the child. The court will consider living conditions of both parents, their employment history, criminal records, drug and alcohol use and medical history, just to name a few of the factors.

  • Who has been the Primary Caregiver.

  • History of criminal behavior.

  • Who can provide a stable home environment.

High Point Child Custody Types

The High Point child custody courts will review the factors related to child custody and then determine the custody arrangements based upon the best interest of the minor child. There are two main types of High Point Child Custody: Legal Custody and Physical Custody.

  • Legal Custody: Who makes custody decisions for the minor child on issues of education, health, and religion

  • Physical Custody: Who does the minor child live with and spend time with.

After determining Legal and Physical Child Custody, the Court must also determine whether a party will be given primary custody or whether the parties will share custody (joint custody).

High Point Contested Child Custody

If a High Point child custody is contested, mediation is required by the court. Mediation is an opportunity for the parents to try to come to an agreement on the High Point child custody schedule and order. It is the hope of the courts that the Mediation order will help:

  • Ensure an amicable environment between the parties,

  • Create custody and visitations agreements that are in the best interests of the child.

  • Decrease the potential for further disputes and hostility.

  • Foster an overall solid ground work of communication that will allow the parents to focus on the child and what is in the best interest of the Minor Child.
