Custody Agreements
Custody agreements are legal arrangements outlining how parents will share responsibilities and decision-making for their children after a separation or divorce. These agreements cover aspects such as where the children will live, visitation schedules, and how parents will communicate about their child's upbringing, health, and education. They can be informal or formalized through a court, and aim to prioritize the child's best interests. Custody arrangements can be joint, where both parents share equal responsibilities, or sole, where one parent has primary authority, and can be modified if circumstances change.
