Abstract: | Seven categories of concern entered into custody judgments--continuity, emotional welfare, support systems, children's wishes, parental agreement, caretaking, and child abuse. The literature points to the first four categories and caretaking as vital considerations for children's best interests. Beyond these findings, visiting rights were granted in all cases for the noncustodial parent, the family was always seen together, and the children were involved in discussion in the majority of cases. It is hoped that this study of social work practice in one country will add insight into the complex issue of custody and aid in the improvement of care for all children. |
