Second, your child may not necessarily participate in the proceeding, even though his or her welfare is the focus of the proceeding.
This is so because you, the judge and your lawyers may all agree that appearing in court might be unduly traumatic for your child; or, the child may be too young or fragile to understand what might be asked of him or her.
The judge can consider the time available to each parent to be with the child, as the judge may wish to maximize the child's time with a parent as opposed to a babysitter or daycare center.

 Georgia judge declares child support guidelines unconstitutional
Radical forces see little value in having fathers involved in children's lives and appear to be using child support legislation as a deterrent that is nothing other than a tool for the destruction of our families or to prevent their formation, but it would be wrong to assign all of the blame to them.
What makes the child support guidelines especially onerous is that they generally do not take into account the combined incomes of both parents and do not allocate equitable shares of the costs of child raising to both parents.
The Georgia presumptive award does not allocate the child support burden according to the parents' relative ability to pay....The outcome is that the custodial parent does not contribute to child costs at the same rate as the non-custodial parent and, often, not at all.

 Child Protection Services - Action for Child Protection
In order to judge child vulnerability, you will need to gather sufficient information to evaluate the child, understand the place the child has in the family, have a sense of the parent - child interaction and be observant of particular family conditions or influences that shape the child's vulnerability.
Note: This means that while the vulnerability of some children is obvious simply by observation (e.g., an infant), judging and concluding about the vulnerability of lots of children depends on you having a pretty good understanding of the child and the family.
A child who is not visible to be noticed and observed should be considered to be vulnerable regardless of age.

A judge has ordered a four-year-old boy removed from his mother's home because she was exposing him to second-hand smoke.
The judge ruled that the boy's mother, Noella LeClair, 21, has not made a serious effort to stop smoking, despite her claims that she has been trying ever since a court order forbade either parent from smoking around the boy.
Miles' team presented evidence from a medical evaluation of hair samples that the child was exposed to the equivalent of seven to 10 cigarettes a day during the time when he lived one week with each parent, even though smoking around him was prohibited by a temporary court order.

 Complaint Against Judge Childers - Kidjacked   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
But after the former trial judge, D.J. Alissandratos, withdrew from the case under pressure of complaints against him, we were hoping for an impartial judge who would fix the myriad of problems caused by the hastily retreating Judge Alissandratos.
When he repeatedly states in his opinion that we willfully abandoned Anna Mae, an allegedly unwanted child "rescued" by the Bakers and prevented from returning to a perceived life of poverty and gender discrimination in China, Childers effectively risks punishing the child, not the parents, by dismissing her heritage as reprehensible.
Judge Childers claimed that he spent many hours and efforts reviewing the court record before making his decision, so he wants people to believe that he is a responsible and attentive judge.
