What Does the Judge Care About?

A first step in figuring out how to get custody is figuring out what the judge is going to want. Then you can work on giving it to him or her.

Overall, the judge wants the children to have stability, continuity, financial support, medical care, love, and the presence of parents as much as possible.

In particular, the judge will likely consider all of the following (in any order):

• Familiarity, care so far.
• The children's temperaments.
• True desire to be the custodial parent.
• Time to spend.
• Energy and health to take care of children.
• Stable personality, good moral character.
• Gender of the children.
• Financial support.
• Stable routine.
• Quality of schools.
• Quality of recreation areas.
• Quality of friends.
