Children With Special Needs
Children with special needs are those who have unique mental, medical, and/or emotional health issues that demand special attention. Generally, the type of care the child needs can have a significant impact on how the court will decide which parent is awarded child custody. For instance, when the child is physically impaired, the judge may focus on how safe and accessible each parents’ home is. On the other hand, if the minor has emotional or mental health issues, the judge could focus on reducing the disruption of the child’s life.
For many reasons, mental illness and physical incapacity can complicate the legal process of determining what is the best arrangement for the child. Since a child with special needs can require ongoing medical treatment, multiple forms of physical therapy, and special care and attention, the courts may ultimately favor one parent over the other.
Unsuitability of Care
A very important factor that can influence a case is the suitability of each parent as well as their individual living situations. Challenges in a child custody case can happen as a result of a variety of factors, like: Abusive environments, Dependence on drugs or alcohol, Mental illness in one or both parents, Criminal history in one or both parents, and/or Living arrangements that are inhospitable.
