How Is the Custodial Parent Decided in Joint Custody?

Question by Cortney R: how is the custodial parent decided in joint custody?

Best answer:

Answer by adventuresindomesticity
Usually a social worker is involved and they do a study to determine which household is more stable and child friendly. Many factors come into play, including parent drug/alcohol abuse, school systems, extended family involvement, child care arrangements, parents and children’s preferences, and many more. Most states have a web site that explain how this works… I don’t remember how I found the one for Delaware when I was looking for info, but I’m sure if you search under __(Your state)__ Child custody laws you’ll find what you need to know.

Bray Wins Delaware Teen Idol 2008 – My little sister’s performance that earned a perfect score at Delaware Teen Idol 2008! Move over, Joe Biden, there’s a new center of attention in Delaware and her name is Brayonna Muhammad. Muhammad, 17, of Wilmington, won the 2008 “Who Wants to be Delaware Teen Idol?” competition Saturday night in front of a sold-out crowd of 1200 at the DuPont Theatre in Wilmington. Muhammad’s poem about self-respect, condom use and AIDS awareness earned her the win, along with 00, a free SAT preparation course, a Nintendo Wii and various gift certificates. This was the fourth year for the competition, developed by AIDS Delaware to promote the ideals laid out in Muhammad’s poem. “This is about young people being in the spotlight for the right reasons,” said Fred Hawkins, associate director of AIDS Delaware, who developed the family-orientated program. Muhammad bested 14 others who sang, rapped, read poetry and danced, all while weaving positive social messages into their act, including the prevention of drug abuse, violence, teen pregnancy and HIV/AIDS — all parts of the Healthy Wilmington 2010 initiative. “In the times that we live in, all you hear about is young people shooting guns and the violence that’s happening,” Hawkins said, “but the reality is that some people are doing the right things for the right reasons.” www.delawareonline.com
