Your Options
Generally speaking, there are three major choices available to you with regards to child custody. They are:
- Sole physical custody. Sole physical custody is the most common custody arrangement. The child lives with a single custodial parent, who is responsible for the day-to-day decisions affecting the child.
- Joint physical custody. In this situation, the child spends time living with both parents, who share the responsibility of raising the child.
- Joint legal custody. This arrangement exists in the majority of custody situations. Both parents share the rights and privileges associated with parenting, including making decisions about schooling and religion.
