	The courts use the best interests of the child when determining custody. Some factors that may determine custody of a child include the childs age, sex, and mental and physical health; the parent's mental and physical health; the parent's lifestyle and social factors; the parent's ability to provide for the child; the child's preference (if the child is above a certain age), and the child's established living pattern (school, home, religious institution, etc.).
