ARKANSAS Part 8



Best Interests of the Child

An Arkansas court will make a custody decision that will assure continuous contact with both parents, if joint custody serves the best interests of the child. In determining a child's best interests, the court will consider:

    The child's preference, if the child is of a sufficient age and maturity to make an adequate decision.
    Which parent is more likely to encourage a relationship between the child and the child's other parent
    Any history of domestic violence
    Whether either parent is a registered sex offender
