Rochester Child Custody Lawyer Explains How Judges Determine Custody

As an experienced Rochester Child Custody Lawyer, I am often asked how judges determine custody when parents can’t decide.

• Questions about custody require an understanding of the difference between legal custody and residential custody.
• Legal custody governs the way important decisions in the children’s lives are made, while residential custody covers where the children will live.
• In making these decisions, the court’s overriding consideration is the child’s best interest.
• If the parties can’t agree, the court will ensure what’s best for each child regarding legal and residential custody based on all relevant factors.
