Judge Tom

The judge will take into consideration many factors to determine the custody arrangements. The number of children one parent has is just one factor that will be considered. Ultimately, the goal in court is to establish a plan with the “best interests” of the child in mind. For more information specific to your circumstances, you could try contacting a local family law attorney or the court to see if they have a free legal assistance program that would allow you to meet briefly with an attorney. Good luck. (Check our Teen Help Network for more help and resources in your area. This is information only – not legal advice.)
