There are many options to work out a child custody arrangement. The spouses need not always have to let the court determine the schedule. Rotating custody, while not common, works well if the parties stay within five to ten miles of each other. With rotating custody, one spouse keeps the child for a set period of time, then the other parent keeps the child for the same amount of time. Supervised visitation can be ordered by the court if the court thinks that the secondary parent might be a danger to the child. The court may also order supervised visitation if it has reason to believe that one spouse (the spouse getting supervised visitation) may leave the state or the country with the minor child against the wishes of the other spouse. The court can award the custody of a child to a third-party when the third-party has sought custody. The third-party is generally a grandparent or other close relative. If the marriage results in numerous children, a court has the authority to separate the children and split the custody between parents in accord with the best interest of each particular child. Usually, however, the best interests of a child will be to reside with that child's siblings, because of emotional support reasons. While determining the home in which to place the child, the court works hard to arrive at a decision in "the best interests of the child." A decision in "the best interests of the child" requires considering the desires of the child's parents, the wishes of the child, and the child's relationship with each of the parents, siblings, other persons who may significantly impact the child's best interests, the child's comfort in his home, school, and community, and the mental and physical health of the involved individuals.
