Best Interests of the Child
A family court in New Hampshire
will determine child custody based on the best interests of the child. Factors
included in a best interest of the child determination are:
The child's relationship with each parent
Each parent's ability to provide the child with a loving environment
Each parent's ability to provide for the child
The child's adjustment to school and community and the potential affect
of a change
Each parent's willingness to support the child's ability to be in
contact with the other parent
Each parent's ability to communicate, cooperate with each other, and
make decisions for the child
The child's developmental needs, as well as each parent's ability to provide
for those needs
Any history of abuse and the impact of that abuse on the child's
relationship with his/her parents
The child's wishes, if the court determines that the child is mature
enough to make such a decision (generally age 12 and older)
Other
additional relevant factors
