MONTANA Part 8

Best Interests of the Child

A court in Montana will determine child custody based on the best interests of the child. Factors included in determining a child's best interests include:

    The child's wishes
    Each parent's wishes
    The mental and physical health of all involved parties
    Any history of abuse between parents
    The child's adjustment to home, school and community
    The needs of the child
    The child's relationship with his/her parents, siblings and extended family members

    Whether either parent has knowingly failed to financially support a child
