Understanding Child Custody Laws In Larkansas

Arkansas law puts a child’s best interest at the forefront of any custody decision. Factors considered include the child’s age, health, emotional ties with parents and siblings, the parents’ ability to provide stability, and the child’s adjustment to their home, school, and community.

Types of Child Custody

There are two general types of child custody: primary custody and joint custody. In primary custody, one parent has the children the lion’s share of the time, and the other parent receives visitation typically for two weekends a month, a couple of extended visitation periods in the summer (usually about two weeks each), and holiday and birthday visitation alternating on odd and even years. In joint custody, child custody is shared more or less equally, with each parent having the children roughly half the time.

For years, joint custody was “disfavored” in Arkansas, with courts rarely ordering it, but the law changed in 2021. Now joint custody is the default position and courts are only permitted to deviate from it in the face of clear and convincing evidence that it would be contrary to the best interests of the children.
