What is shared custody?
Shared custody is a non-traditional form of custody that is designed to increase the amount of time the children have with both parents. Shared custody is not typically defined by the Statute, but in practice, is often used as a way to resolve custody disputes. Very frequently, parents will agree to divide time with the children equally. This type of arrangement will frequently have a detrimental effect to children. Our office recommends that any issue effecting children should be addressed to a child psychologist to get their input and advice concerning the impact on the specific family situation.
