If both parents want the kid and they live in two different states. How do the courts decide if they are both capable parents?

The mother will usually get the children, particularly if the children are young girls, unless she is proved to be unfit.

Better for the parents to go to mediation and work out some arrangements. If you two end up in court the judge will do what he feels is fair. However that generally makes both parents feel like they got the short end of the deal. Not to mention deciding what is in the child 's interest is better done by the parents who know him/her best rather then an impartial judge.

whoever has the kids right now will more than likely end up with primary custody. The court isn't willing to change a child's whole way of life if both parents are fit.
Otherwise it is a matter of financial ability, school districts, willingness to co-parent, proximity to other family, results of home studies...and several other factors...

every state different.. sometimes the one will have the primary custody and the other will get them on holidays and summer months. its all depends what your both willing to work out.. but please make it about the child and not about you guys.. good luck
