In California custody cases, the ‘best interest of the child’ refers to the courts’ consideration of several factors to ensure the child’s well-being and happiness. These factors include the child’s health, safety, education, and emotional ties with both parents. The court will assess the living situation, the stability offered by each parent, and any history of abuse or neglect. Understanding how to present your case in line with these interests is crucial.
