What is joint and sole custody?
The court considers many factors like, age of the child, motivation of the parties or love and affection in declaring the child custody. The Maine divorce court grants two types of custodies i.e. sole custody and joint custody. In sole custody, only one spouse has the custody of the child while the other one is granted only the visitation rights. Whereas joint custody is one in which both the spouses will be responsible for making decisions about the education, health and other necessities of the child.
