The job pays $35,000 per year, which is considerably less John Bright's salary of $125,000 per year.

Chastity Bright has stated that she wants to remain in her current city and live with her father because she does not wish to be separated from her friends at school. She does not want to go to a new school and make new friends.

II. SALLY BRIGHT IS UPROOTING CHASTITY BRIGHT FROM a STABLE ENVIRONMENT WHERE SHE FEELS COMFORTABLE. FURTHERMORE, SHE WILL NOT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY in HER NEW POSITION to PROPERLY SUPPORT THEIR DAUGHTER.

John Bright does not question Sally Bright's parenting skills. What he questions is whether or not she is doing serious emotional damage to their daughter, Chastity by uprooting her from surroundings she has become familiar with. He also worries that Sally will not be able to fully provide for their teenage daughter given the salary of $35,000 that she will make at her new job. If Chastity remains with him (as she has expressed a desire to do so), he can more than adequately provide for his daughter and ensure that she remains in the stable environment she is used to. John Bright feels that this divorce has been difficult for his daughter and he does not wish to make her life any more stressful.

He understands that there is some concern over his newly declared gay lifestyle. He also knows that Chastity is uncomfortable being around him and his partner. He fully understands that it will take some time for Chastity to adjust to his new lifestyle, but this adjustment should have no bearing on her overall emotional well-being. John Bright has done his own research and has found that girls usually respond better to their father's 'coming out' better than boys do (Tasker et.al, 2010). Given this information, he is hopeful that within time Chastity will feel comfortable around him and his new partner.

III. CONCLUSION

Awarding custody to John Bright would be in Chastity's best interest because he will be able to care for her without any strain on the family budget. Also, staying with John will mean that Chastity will not be uprooted which would therefore prevent any additional emotional trauma the child might be experiencing because of her parent's divorce.
