  • Geographic viability of the plan.
  • The moral fitness of the parents.
  • The mental and physical health of the parents.
  • The home, school, and community records of the child.
  • The reasonable preference of the child.
  • The demonstrated knowledge, capacity, and disposition of each parent to be informed about the child.
  • The demonstrated capacity and disposition of each parent to provide consistent routine for the child.
  • The demonstrated capacity of each parent to communicate with and keep the other parent informed regarding issues and activities, regarding the minor child and the willingness of each parent to adopt a unified front as to all major issues when dealing with the child.
