Custody in Taiwan

Divorce can be a challenging and emotionally taxing experience for all involved, especially when children are part of the equation. In Taiwan, like in many countries, custody of the children is one of the main issues that must be resolved when a marriage ends. Determining who will have primary custody of the children and how much visitation time the non-custodial parent will have can be a complex and contentious process. However, Taiwan’s legal system prioritizes the best interests of the child, and strives to ensure that custody arrangements are fair and promote the well-being of the children involved.

In Taiwan, custody is generally awarded based on the best interests of the child, with a preference for joint custody if both parents are deemed capable and willing to fulfill their parental responsibilities. However, custody arrangements can vary depending on the specific circumstances of the case and the needs of the child.

In cases where parents cannot agree on custody, the court may appoint a custody evaluator to assess the situation and make a recommendation for custody. The court may also consider the child’s wishes if they are old enough to express them, typically around the age of 7.

In general, Taiwan’s legal system aims to protect the rights and interests of the child, and both parents are expected to prioritize the child’s welfare in any custody disputes.
