Determining parenting time is not a direct formula applied by the court. There are a variety of factors that the court will look at in determining what is in the best interests of the child. Some of those factors include:
- The wishes of the child, or children (depending upon their age).
- The relationship between the child and each parent.
- The child’s adjustment to their current home.
- The impact of moving the child from their current home.
- Past physical violence on the part of each parent, if any exists.
- The willingness of each parent to nurture a solid relationship with the other parent.
