“Child Custody-- the legal and practical relationship between a parent and his or her child, such as the right of the parent to make decisions for the child, and the parent's duty to care for the child.”
There are many different forms of child custody, including sole custody, joint custody, and shared parenting. No parent wants to “share” their child, or potentially miss out on fun times, academic achievements, or other accomplishments. Not only do you have to decide where the child will reside, but who makes the decisions for him or her and how those decisions will be made will need to be determined as well. There are several variations to the different custodies mentioned, and a decision might prove to be difficult based on the complexities of the divorce, and the cooperation, or lack of, between you and your spouse. Our expert attorneys are here to support you as you deal with the many challenges of these complex child custody issues.
