Child Custody Options

An overview of child custody options available to parents during divorce.

Exploring Child Custody Options

Child custody is a critical issue in divorce cases, and understanding the different types of custody arrangements is essential for parents. Custody can be categorized into two main types: legal custody and physical custody.

Legal Custody

Legal custody refers to the right to make important decisions about a child's life, including education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. Parents can share legal custody or one parent can have sole legal custody.

Physical Custody

Physical custody determines where the child will live. Parents can have joint physical custody, where the child spends significant time with both parents, or one parent can have sole physical custody.

Understanding these options can help parents make informed decisions that are in the best interest of their children.
