Your Child’s Best Interests Are The Focus Of All Custody Decisions

Under Washington law, a judge will consider what is in the “best interests” of the child in any family matter involving custody and visitation. Factors that a judge will consider when determining what custody arrangement is in the child’s best interests include:

  • The parents’ ability to work together and make sound decisions
  • The relationship each parent has with the child
  • The level of involvement each parent has in day-to-day responsibilities
  • The level of involvement in the child’s education
  • How far apart the parents live from one another
  • If domestic violence has been alleged

You will have to determine legal and physical custody whether you negotiate, mediate or determine an arrangement in court. Legal custody refers to how the decisions that impact the child’s life will be made. Physical custody refers to where the child will live.
