| | Child custody - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Child custody and guardianship are legal terms which are sometimes used to describe the legal and practical relationship between a parent and his or her child, such as the right of the parent to make decisions for the child, and the parent's duty to care for the child. | | | Custody may not be awarded to a person other than the father or mother, except under unusual circumstances which require a hearing. | | | See paternity for discussion of judicial recognition of filiation which may be necessary before custody or support may be determined. |

| | Guidelines for Child Custody Evaluations in Divorce Proceedings |
| | The psychologist should be impartial regardless of whether he or she is retained by the court or by a party to the proceedings. | | | The psychologist also strives to become familiar with applicable legal standards and procedures, including laws governing divorce and custody adjudications in his or her state or jurisdiction. | | | Psychological data and expertise, gained through a child custody evaluation, can provide an additional source of information and an additional perspective not otherwise readily available to the court on what appears to be in a child's best interest, and thus can increase the fairness of the determination the court must make. |

| | Custody agreements may be modified after the divorce decree with the consent of both parents, with or without court approval. | | | While each custody case has its own combination of circumstances that must be taken into account, certain factors routinely used as criteria are considered so universal that they are often written into state custody laws. | | | Temporary custody is often awarded following a preliminary hearing when a couple first separates or files for divorce The custody arrangements are later finalized under a permanent custody or visitation order intended to remain in effect as long as the child is a minor. |

| | The court must determine what custody location would be the most beneficial to the child, although in many of these cases the courts actually have to decide which placement is the least damaging to the child. | | | Neither should the courts predicate a custody award on the hopes that the behavior witnessed and cited in court is merely a product of the acrimony generated by the litigation. | | | All parties must understand that a court order cannot be modified unless approved by the court; if modifications can be made by the family with the agreement of the systems therapist, this must be made explicit in the order. |

| | When the Court makes a decision about custody, it must decide who should have legal custody and who should have physical custody. | | | Primary physical custody gives one party the right to have possession of the child most of the time. | | | The Court no longer assumes that a young child should be in the custody of its mother. |

| | He has pointed out that it is better that custody be considered as a right of the child, so that the mother does not have the right to surrender her responsibility to act as a custodian, to make compromise over it, or to exchange it for securing a divorce. | | | The Imami, the Shafi`i and the Hanhali schools say: Custody is the specific right of a female custodian, and she can surrender it whenever she pleases and she shall not be compelled to act as a custodian on her refusing to do so. | | | The Imamiyyah state: A divorced mother is not permitted to travel with the child under her custody to a far-off place without the consent of the child's father. |

| | FAMILY COURTS AND CHILD CUSTODY |
| | Therefore, in order to enforce adherence to the statutory requirement that fathers be considered equally when custody is determined, either the legislature or the supreme court should require circuit courts to report whether the mother or the father receives primary residential custody during the initial custody determination of the divorce proceeding. | | | Moreover, until trial judges are required to provide written findings supporting their reasons for awarding custody or primary residency to one parent over another,[333] a courtwatch program should be funded and implemented to monitor the way courts, witnesses, and experts treat mothers and fathers in custody litigation. | | | In child custody statutes involving divorce cases, statutes that delineate the mother as the primary custodian violate the Equal Protection Clause because they are facially discriminatory and the intent to discriminate is obvious. |

| | Custody |
| | Traditionally, family courts are dedicated to promoting and encouraging familial relationships, therefore, parties are given the chance to come to their own agreements regarding custody and visitation issues. | | | Under most circumstances, courts award "joint" legal custody, which means that both parents make joint decisions regarding, among other things, the children’s schooling, medical attention and religious guidance. | | | There are two types of child custody: legal and physical. |
