“Watch in the best interest of the children” is a legal term used to describe the duty of courts and other legal decision-makers to make decisions that are in the best interests of children. This duty is based on the principle that children are vulnerable and dependent on adults for their care and protection.
The best interests of the child standard is a flexible one, and there is no single definition of what it means. However, courts generally consider a number of factors when making decisions about what is in the best interests of a child, including the child’s age, maturity, and individual needs. Courts also consider the child’s wishes, although these are not always determinative.
