Implications for Custody Arrangements in Early Childhood
Timotheus Homas Abstract Custody arrangements during early childhood can profoundly influence attachment formation and long-term developmental outcomes. This article examines how disruptions in attachment relationships—whether due to custody changes, visitation conflicts, or parental separation—affect emotional, social, and cognitive development. Drawing on empirical research and legal scholarship, the paper argues that family courts often underestimate the developmental risks associated with unstable caregiving environments. By integrating attachment theory with custody jurisprudence, the article advocates for a developmentally informed application of the “best interests of the child” standard that prioritizes relational stability alongside parental rights.

Author's Notes: Little Snow-White
"Snow-White, Rose-Red, will you beat your lover dead?" "But Little Snow-White is still a thousand times fairer than you."
