The common perception has historically favored mothers, but recent shifts in family law show that this assumption is no longer universally accurate. Courts today aim to make custody decisions based purely on the childs best interests, balancing various factors regardless of parental gender.
If the parents are unable to create a parenting plan, the court will create it for them. The court will treat both parents as equals. All decisions a court makes about custody are based solely on the best interests of the child and the safety of the parties (Place v. Place, 129 N.H. 252, 525 A.
Therefore, the relationship that the child has with each parent will be evaluated. Along the same lines, a judge considers how each parent is able to give the child affection, guidance and love. In addition to the parent-child relationship, a judge may assess the relationship between the parents.
