Understanding Child Custody

Child custody refers to the legal and practical rights and responsibilities of parents or guardians concerning their child's upbringing and welfare. It encompasses both physical custody (where the child resides) and legal custody (the authority to make decisions about the child's education, healthcare, religion, etc.). When parents separate or divorce, determining child custody arrangements becomes crucial to ensure the child's best interests are protected.


Whether you need an order from a court regarding the custody of a child, or you have a current order that needs to be modified or enforced, we are here to help.

Types of Custody

There are three main types of child custody:

  1. Sole custody: One parent has primary physical and legal custody, while the other parent typically has visitation rights.
  2. Joint custody: Both parents share physical and/or legal custody, allowing the child to spend significant time with each parent.
  3. Split custody: In cases involving multiple children, each parent is awarded custody of one or more children.
