29217.pngCUSTODY TYPES
Custody is a term used to describe the legal and practical relationship between parents and their children. It defines the legal right of the parent(s) to be able to make decisions for the children, as well as their obligation to care for the child.
There are few different outcomes that are possible when it comes to custody arrangements, and two main types - Legal Custody, and Physical Custody. Whichever parent is granted Legal Custody has the right to make important decisions about a child’s care including, but not limited to, medical care and religious upbringing. If the parents are given joint legal custody, the parents will make those decisions together, regardless of which parent the child is living with.
