In North Carolina, there are two components of custody, “legal custody” concerns the right to make and be involved in major decisions related to a child’s education, religion, and health care, while “physical custody” refers to the routine daily care and residence of a child.  In evaluating and decided custody, a court’s primary consideration, is the “best interest of the child,” which is determined by the following factors: 

• The relationship and interrelationship of the child with his her parent (s) siblings and any other person who may significantly affects the child’s best interest. 

• The child’s adjustment to his her home, school and community 

• The mental and physical health of everyone involved 

• Physical violence or threat by the child’s potential custodian, whether directed against the child or someone else 

• The occurrence of ongoing abuse whether directed against the child or someone else. 

• The willingness and ability of each parent to facilitate and encourage a close and continuing relationship between the other parent and the child 

• The sufficiency and stability of the parties’ homes and surroundings
