词汇 | best interests (of the child) |
释义 | `1`best interests (of the child) `2` "Nolo Everybody's Legal Dictionary": The test that courts use when deciding who will take care of a child. For instance, an adoption is allowed only when a court declares it to be in the best interests of the child. Similarly, when asked to decide on custody issues in a divorce case, the judge will base his or her decision on the child's best interests. And the same test is used when judges decide whether a child should be removed from a parent's home because of neglect or abuse. Factors considered by the court in deciding the best interests of a child include: *age and sex of the child *mental and physical health of the child *mental and physical health of the parents *lifestyle and other social factors of the parents *emotional ties between the parents and the child *ability of the parents to provide the child with food, shelter, clothing and medical care *established living pattern for the child concerning school, home, community and religious institution *quality of schooling, and *the child's preference.
