Types of Custody
Sole Physical Custody
This is when one parent has complete legal and physical care, control, and responsibility for a child. They live with the child and make all major decisions regarding their health, education, and overall upbringing. This type of arrangement usually happens in cases of domestic violence, or if the other parent surrenders their rights.
Joint Custody
Joint custody refers to a situation where both parents have equal rights, responsibilities, and authority over the child’s upbringing. In this arrangement, both parents are legally recognized as having shared parenting roles and work together to make decisions for their child regarding their health, education, and overall wellbeing.
