Living with one parent or alternating between homes
The court can decide that your child should live with one parent. Alternating residence, where your child lives with each parent in turn, is possible, but generally requires you and the other parent to be able to co-operate and live relatively close to each other.
Your child’s perspective
Your child’s need for stability, schooling and relationships is taken into account, as are your child’s own wishes, having regard to their age and maturity.
