- Parent's ability to agree, communicate and cooperate
- Relationship of the child with its parents and siblings
- History of domestic violence
- Safety of the child
- Preference of the child when of sufficient age
- Stability of the home environment
- Quality and continuity of the child's education
- Fitness of the parents
- Geographical proximity of the parents' homes
- Extent and quality of the time spent with the child prior to or subsequent to the separation
