What are social workers and pyschologists in child custody cases in Israel really looking for when choosing between parents?

They look for which of the two parents has the superior parenting ability and skills, and can cater for the children's physical and emotional needs best. They will pay attention to the ability of each parent to separate the children's needs from his/her own, and genuinely respect the importance of the minors having an ongoing and meaningful relationship with the other parent. They will be mindful of a parent's inability to separate the battle with the other parent from the children's needs.
