Parenting: what does the court consider when deciding custody?
The child’s rights are the most important thing in child custody parenting matters. But what exactly does the court consider when deciding child custody? To protect children, the court prioritises the following basic principles: children have the right to be properly cared for and protected from harm, if possible, both parents should be meaningfully engaged in their children’s lives and that parents are responsible for caring for their children. In this video, recorded in July 2021, Belinda Jeffrey and Susan Miranda from Michael Lynch Family Lawyers guide you through the important considerations.
