How Do Cook County Family Courts Handle Child Custody Disputes?

Cook County family courts resolve all child custody cases on the basis of “what is in the child’s best interests.” Of all the questions we get from our clients in Cook County as family law lawyers, this is the one our clients come to us with the most. The best interests of the child can be defined as a calculation looking at these factors:

  • The mental well-being of the child
  • Stability of the child’s home
  • Exposure of the child to criminal elements
  • The resources available to the child
  • The potential for the child to suffer abuse

The court can also, under some circumstances, bring the child’s opinion into what is and is not in their interests. This is typically reserved for older children.

Once the court reviews and analyzes what is best in the child’s interests, they will make their decision for the dispute. Your best strategy is to work as hard as you can to do what is right for your child at every turn, and we can help you see what that looks like under the child custody laws of Cook County.
