Answers To Common Child Custody Questions
Navigating child custody laws and procedures can be overwhelming. Here are some of the questions we hear most often from our clients.
What is the most common child custody arrangement in Alabama?
While every case is unique, Alabama courts generally favor joint custody arrangements when it is in the best interests of the child. This allows both parents to share in decision-making and maintain meaningful relationships with their children.
How is child custody determined in Alabama?
The court considers many factors, including the child’s age, health and emotional needs, each parent’s ability to provide a stable and nurturing environment and the child’s relationship with each parent. The primary focus is always on the child’s best interests.
Does custody always go to one parent?
Not necessarily. While sole custody is sometimes awarded, Alabama courts often encourage shared parenting arrangements, allowing both parents to play an active role in their child’s life.
