What Child Custody and Visitation Arrangements are Available?
Custody and visitation agreements can come in many different forms. First of all, it is important to understand that there are two types of custody that need to be addressed: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody determines who has the right to make decisions on the child’s behalf. Physical custody determines where the child will live. These types of custody can come in the form of either sole custody or joint custody. Sole custody means that all of the rights go to one parent, while the other may still have visitation rights to be involved in the child’s life. Joint custody is a split between both parents, although not necessarily an even split. We know the various options available and, after getting to know you, your child and your situation, we will guide you toward the arrangements that make the most sense for your family.
