This can include things such as the age and the maturity level of the child; the child’s individual and specific needs; the relationship between the parents; the geographical locations of the parents; the parents work schedules; if there are allegations of substance abuse; domestic violence; child abuse; past criminal conduct; restraining orders and the like but paramount is what is in the child’s best interest.
