CHILD CUSTODY
When parents decide to no longer live together, they must determine who will have primary physical and legal custody of the child. This includes establishing visitation rights, allocating decision-making responsibility, and determining spousal and child support. It is important to work with an attorney to ensure the best outcome for the child.
Sole Custody
In a sole custody arrangement, one parent is given full legal and physical custody of a child. This means that the parent has the exclusive right to make all major decisions regarding the child's upbringing and welfare, and the child will live primarily with the custodial parent.
Joint Custody
Joint custody is when both parents share legal and physical custody of a child. This means that both parents have the right to make decisions regarding the child's upbringing and welfare, and both parents will have the child living with them for a significant period of time.
Split Custody
Split custody is when one parent has legal and physical custody of one or more children, while the other parent has legal and physical custody of the other children. This means that each parent has the right to make decisions regarding their respective child's upbringing and welfare, and the children will live with the respective parent most of the time.
Third-Party Custody
Third-party custody is when a non-parent such as a grandparent, aunt, or uncle is given legal and physical custody of a child. This means that the third-party has the right to make decisions regarding the child's upbringing and welfare, and the child will live primarily with the third-party.
