When two people decide to divorce, one of the most difficult decisions is who will get custody of a child. The court must ultimately decide where the child will live based on what is in the best interest of the child. If the parents cannot agree on custody, the court will make the decision. For older children, the court may take the child’s desires into consideration when making a decision on where the child will live. This is done through a court order. Child custody is also known as parental time-sharing. The age of the child, along with other factors, will be taken into account when deciding whether the child should testify. In some cases, testimony of this nature could be harmful to the child. In these cases, the testimony is attained through witnesses.
