The Legal Doctrine
The legal doctrine of 'In The Best Interest' provide that lower family court matters are determined with a broad spectrum of factors that contribute to the best standard arrangement that would give a child his or her best opportunity in life. These determinating factors may include educational opportunties, well-being, close relationships with extended family members, safe environment, capability of parents and stability of their environment. These determinating factors rest at the sole discretion of a family court judge that will hear the matter and make a determination as to the best interest of the child.
