In a divorce, Washington DC courts consider a series of factors when awarding child custody to a parent. For this reason, the best way to protect your child custody rights is to work with a lawyer who knows the law — someone who is a strong advocate and can make sure a judge understands your perspective.
The court’s decision in child custody cases is based on many factors. Overall, the court considers the child’s best interests paramount. Other factors include:
- Child's desires
- Home environment
- Overall fitness of the parents
