custody arrangement
A custody arrangement refers to the legal decision about where and with whom a child will live and who will make important decisions about their upbringing after parents separate or divorce. It can involve different types of custody: sole custody (one parent has primary responsibility), joint custody (both share responsibilities), physical custody (where the child lives), and legal custody (who makes decisions). The goal is to create a stable and supportive environment for the child, focusing on their best interests while balancing each parent's rights and responsibilities.
