Child custody agreement

A child custody agreement is a legal document that outlines how parents will share responsibility for their children after separation or divorce. It details where the child will live, how time is shared between parents (physical custody), and how decisions about the child's upbringing will be made (legal custody). The agreement aims to prioritize the child's best interests and can include schedules for visitation, communication guidelines, and financial responsibilities for the child's care. Courts often review and approve these agreements to ensure they serve the child's needs effectively.
