What factors does a court consider when granting child custody?

When deciding on child custody, California courts prioritize the child’s best interests. Factors that the court may consider include:

  • child’s age
  • child’s health
  • relationship with both parents
  • parents’ ability to care for the child
  • the child’s wishes (if they are old enough)
