Joint or sole custody may be awarded, based on "the best interests of the child", with the relevant factors being:
- The relationship between each parent and the child.
- The child's primary caretaker.
- The reasonable preference of the child, if the court deems the child to be of sufficient age to express preference.
- The child's adjustment to home, school, and community. Also considered is how long the child has been in a stable environment and the permanence of the custodial home.
- The mental and physical health of all individuals involved.
- The capacity and disposition of the parents to give the child love, affection, and guidance, and to continue educating and raising the child in the child's culture and religion or creed.
- Whether there is evidence of abuse, either between the parents, between the parent and another individual, or directed towards the child.
