Custody Case Jury Role

Summary

In custody cases, a jury is generally not involved. Instead, a judge makes decisions based on the best interests of the child, considering factors like each parents ability to care for the child, the childs needs and preferences, and the stability of each parents home environment. The role of a jury is to listen to evidence, deliberate, and reach a verdict, but this does not apply to custody cases.
