Addressing Common Concerns About Child Custody Orders
Many parents wonder about the likelihood of a 50/50 custody arrangement. While the courts have a strong preference for making orders that equalize custodial time based on extensive research supporting the benefits of children having frequent and continuous contact with both parents, the primary consideration is always the child’s best interest. Safety concerns, evidence of poor parenting, or any factor that may compromise a child’s well-being can lead to decisions that deviate from a 50/50 split.
The Role of Monitors in Visitation
In situations where a parent’s unsupervised visitation raises safety concerns, the court may require the presence of an independent monitor. This measure is generally seen as a temporary solution until the parent can demonstrate improvement in the areas of concern.
