Child Custody Analysis Scholarship
$1,000
Introduction
Child custody disputes can be deeply upsetting for the children involved and are often the focus of intense legal and personal debate. These situations can have significant long-term consequences — positive or negative — for a child’s wellbeing. Some argue that adults should make custody decisions because they are responsible for protecting the child’s best interests. Others contend that when children are mature enough, their perspectives (especially when their own circumstances are part of why custody is contested) should carry weight in the outcome. To encourage thoughtful discussion on this issue, we are awarding two $1,000 scholarships for essays...
