Parents find it in their best interests to come to an agreement on a parenting plan before going to the court. When the parents cannot do this, the courts decide the best interest of the child. The court may override a parenting plan if it feels the child's interests are not being served. Courts consider a number of factors in deciding custody and residence. They include, but are not limited to, the desires of the parents, child, interaction and relationships of the child with others, the child's adjustment to school, home and community and the willingness to nurture a good relationship between the child and his or her other spouse.
