Understanding the Best Interests of the Child Legal Standard
State court generally handles custody disputes. Under both Mississippi law (Mississippi Code § 93-5-24) and Arkansas law (Arkansas Code § 9-13-101) the ‘best interests of the child’ standard controls custody cases.
There are some minor differences between the two states, but family law courts in both will resolve child custody disagreements by finding the arrangement that best for the child. When resolving these cases, family law courts will consider many different factors, including:
- The physical safety of the child;
- The psychological and emotional well-being of the child;
- The positive emotional and social development of the child; and
- For older children, their own desires regarding living arrangement.
To prevail in a child custody cases, parents will need to prove to the court that they are fully prepared to provide the best possible atmosphere for their child.
Our Greenville child custody lawyers have deep experience handling cases under this standard. We have the skills and experience needed to help you present a compelling case.
