Abstract
The results of the analyses of items common to two separate surveys, one with judges/commissioners and one with mental health professionals, regarding the standards to be used in determining child custody in a divorce are reported. Although there were more areas of agreement between the two groups, group differences did emerge on a few items. Mental health professionals tended to give significantly greater emphasis to the quality of the relationship between parent and child, whereas the judiciary tended to give more emphasis to the legal/biological status of the parent-child relationship and to traditional family roles and structures. The implications of the findings are discussed.
