Child custody is one of the most contentious
aspects of any divorce case involving children.
It is particularly difficult for parents with
minor children. The idea of not being able to
spend enough time with your children can be
traumatizing. But it doesnt have to be that way.
There are many options out there for parents
seeking custody.
3
Physical Custody
This the most popular type of child custody and
the ideal scenario. It encourages a more stable
environment to raise your children. Also, both
parents can be more involved in their childrens
lives. In most cases, physical custody is awarded
when parents dont live too far from each other.
When parents live too far apart, it can be too
stressful for the children to switch between
homes.
4
Legal Custody
When a parent is awarded legal custody, he or she
is legally entitled to make important decisions
about the childs education, healthcare,
religion, and so on. Parents can also have joint
legal custody, which means they make these
important decisions together. There are times
when one parent may take away the other parents
rights.
5
Sole Custody
These cases generally involve parents with
irresponsible behavior such as drugs and alcohol
abuse. Also, there are times when a parent
decides to remarry or live with a new partner yet
the new spouse is an unfit parent. In such cases,
the parent more equipped to raise a child will be
awarded sole child custody.
6
Joint Custody
When parents dont live together and share
responsibilities in raising their children, this
arrangement is generally categorized as joint
custody. Joint custody can be classified as joint
physical custody, joint legal custody, or both.
Joint custody requires a parenting agreement,
based on the parents availability and schedule.
While joint custody can be very advantageous, it
also has its disadvantages.
