CHILD CUSTODY SERIES: 20 Factors A Judge Must Consider When Determining Issues of Parental Responsibility and Time-Sharing
The seventh factor to consider is:
(g) “The mental and physical health of the parents.”
This factor takes into consideration the mental and physical health of the parents and whether it is negatively affecting the well-being of the child or will in the future.
For example, if a parent is suffering from a mental illness or a physical health issue that impairs their ability to properly care for the child, a Judge would consider this when determining time-sharing and parental responsibility.
When deciding on time-sharing and parental responsibility, a Judge would have to keep the best interests of the child in mind and consider how the parents’ mental and physical health might pose a problem in properly caring for the child.
