In all custody proceedings in New York, the main concern for the court in awarding custody is the “best interest of the child.” The “best interest of the child” test means that the courts are required to balance the ability of each parent to meet the needs of the child or children.
The child custody arrangement you settle on will depend on your family. However, joint custody tends to be the most common child custody arrangement.
The chain of custody of evidence is a record of individuals who have had physical possession of the evidence.
To get a custody order from a court, you will need to start by filing a petition in the Court Service Unit of a juvenile and domestic relations district court in the county where your child is living. For a list of courthouses in Virginia, please see our VA Courthouse Locations page.
You can download some forms online, including the: Information Considered in Child Custody/Visitation Proceedings. Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act Affidavit. Notice of Information Required in Child/Spousal Support Proceedings. Acknowledgement of Paternity (unmarried parents only)
Personal records A proposed visitation schedule showing when you'd like to exchange the child. If you already have a schedule, a list of missed or denied parenting time. An expense report showing you contribute financially to your child's needs. Printouts of texts, emails and other messages with your co-parent.
The best arrangement for a child is to have both parents living under the same roof. But barring that, joint custody is best. Half and half living arrangements. The child shouldn't lose one parent. It will screw them up for life. From one who knows.
When there is no court order both parents have equal rights over the child or children. There is no parent more valuable than the other in the eyes of the law. Both mother and father have equal rights to spend as much time with the child as they want.
