District of Columbia divorce - child custody.


Sole or joint custody may be granted during and after a divorce proceeding based on the best interests of the child, without regard to spouse's sex or sexual orientation, race, color, national origin, or political affiliations. The following factors shall also be considered:
 
(1) the preference of the child, if the child is of sufficient age and capacity; (2) the wishes of the parents; (3) the child's adjustment to his or her home, school, and community; (4) the mental and physical health of all individuals involved; (5) the relationship of the child with parents, siblings, and other significant family members; (6) the willingness of the parents to share custody; (7) the prior involvement of the parent in the child's life; (8) the geographical proximity of the parents; (9) the sincerity of the parent's request; (10) the age and number of children; (11) the demands of parental employment; (12) the impact on any welfare benefits; (13) any evidence of spousal or child abuse; (14) the capacity of the parents to communicate and reach shared decisions affecting the child's welfare; (15) the potential disruption of the child's social and school life; and (16) the parent's ability to financially support a joint custody arrangement.
 
There is a rebut table presumption that joint interest is in the best interests of the child unless child abuse, neglect, parental kidnapping or other interfamily violence has occurred. The court may order the parents to submit a written parenting plan for custody.
 
[District of Columbia Code Annotated; Title 16, Chapter 9, Sections 911 and 914].
