Which party is more likely to encourage and permit frequent and continuing contact
between the child and another party.
(2) The present and past abuse committed by a party or member

whether there is a continued risk
of
harm to the child or an abused party and which party
can better provide adequate physical safeguards and supervision
of
the child.
(3) The parental duties performed by each party
on
behalf
of
the child.
(4) The need for stability and continuity in the child's education, family life and community
life.
(5) The availability
of
extended family.
(6) The child's sibling relationships.

of
the child, based
on
the child's maturity and judgment.
(8) The attempts
of
a parent to
tum
the child against the other parent, except in cases
of
