What are child custody rights?
Child custody rights and responsibilities detail who will have legal and physical custody of the child. A family court judge determines what rights are awarded to parents, grandparents, step-parents, and other legal guardians. These are awarded based on the best interests of the children involved. In these cases the biological parents are favored by legal judgments and are deemed suitable guardians. Any child support payments will also be determined where applicable in the child custody rights cases.
