Custody Arrangements

Custody arrangements refer to the legal decisions about where a child will live and how parents will share responsibilities for the child's upbringing after a separation or divorce. There are two main types: physical custody, which determines where the child resides, and legal custody, which involves decision-making rights regarding the child’s education, health, and welfare. Custody can be sole (one parent has primary responsibility) or joint (both parents share responsibilities). The arrangement focuses on the child’s best interests, aiming to provide stability and support while fostering healthy relationships with both parents.
