In Maryland, courts prioritize the best interests of the child when making custody decisions. Key factors include:
Child's Well-being: The mental and physical health of the child, including their emotional and developmental needs.
Parental Fitness: Each parent's ability to provide a stable, loving, and supportive environment.
Child's Preference: The child's preference may be considered if they are of sufficient age and maturity.
Parental Cooperation: The willingness of each parent to foster a positive relationship with the other parent and support the child's relationship with both parents.
Home Environment: The stability and safety of each parent's home.
