How the Best Interests of the Child are Determined by the Court

Under Florida Statute 61.13(3) the courts must consider the following factors when ruling on custody and

the primary residence of the child:

For purposes of shared parental responsibility and primary residence, the best interests of the child shall include an evaluation of all factors affecting the welfare and interests of the child, including, but not limited to:

1. The parent who is more likely to allow the child frequent and continuing contact with the nonresidential parent.
2. The love, affection, and other emotional ties existing between the parents and the child.
3. The capacity and disposition of the parents to provide the child with food, clothing, medical care or other remedial care recognized and permitted under the laws of this state in lieu of medical care, and other material needs.
4. The length of time the child has lived in a stable, satisfactory environment and the desirability of maintaining continuity.
5. The permanence, as a family unit, of the existing or proposed custodial home.
6. The moral fitness of the parents.
7. The mental and physical health of the parents.
8. The home, school, and community record of the child.
9. The reasonable preference of the child, if the court deems the child to be of sufficient intelligence, understanding, and experience to express a preference.
10. The willingness and ability of each parent to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing parent-child relationship between the child and the other parent.
11. Evidence that any party has knowingly provided false information to the court regarding a domestic violence proceeding pursuant to s. 741.30.
12. Evidence of domestic violence or child abuse.
13. (m) Any other fact considered by the court to be relevant.

Biggest Mistakes Divorced Parents Make

What are the biggest mistakes divorced parents make?

Lorraine Segal , M.A.

While parents are divorcing and after they are divorced, they are often overwhelmed by all the changes in their lives. They may be filled with guilt, blame, rage, or grief. Though they, of course, love their children, it may be a huge challenge to manage emotions and conflict with their ex in a way that helps their children move through the changes and feel loved and secure. 

What can parents do to help their children?

• No self neglect. They can take care of themselves so they have energy to support the kids. 
• Say goodbye to their couple relationship. The relationship as a couple is over. Grieve, say goodby, and instead, focus on how to move forward together only as parents. 
• Let go of grudges and resentment. It is challenging but very doable to let go of what happened in the past and focus on making the present as good as possible. 
• Don’t go it alone. Conflict and forgiveness coaches can help parents work on communication skills and letting go of resentments. Support groups can give perspective that others are working on the same issues. Therapists can help with unresolved issues from your past that are intensifying the current situation. Parents deserve help, support, and skill building.
