When child custody is determined, most courts now take an approach that is a bit more equitable with regard to visitation. Nearly every court would rule that:
  1. A child benefits from the influence of both parents
  2. A child benefits more from a mother’s influence than a father’s
  3. A child benefits more from a father’s influence than a mother’s
  4. A child would benefit more from placement with couples who will remain married
Explanation
Answer - A - Simply put, a child would benefit from the influence of both parents, regardless of the status of their marriage and would benefit from the influence of both, particularly during a time of transition and uncertainty like divorce. It is no longer common practice for the court to award custody primarily to the mother only.
