Factors considered by the court.

• The interaction and relationship of the child with its parents and siblings.
• The history of domestic violence, if any.
• The safety of the child and the safety of either parent from physical abuse by the other parent.
• The preference of the child when of sufficient age and capacity to reason so as to form an intelligent decision.
• The needs of the child.
• The stability of the home environment offered.
• The quality and continuity of the child's education.
• The fitness of the parents.
• The geographical proximity of the parents' homes.
• The extent and quality of the time spent with the child prior to or subsequent to the separation.
• The parents' employment responsibilities.
• The age and number of the children.
