Types of Custody

Physical Custody

Physical custody is a parent’s right and responsibility to physically care for the child and entails where a child will spend their time. Parents can have either joint, primary, or sole physical custody. In joint custody agreements, children spend time equally between parents. Realistically, the child will spend a little more time with one parent. In the eyes of the law, the parent that spends even the slightest more time with the child will be considered the custodial parent. There will always be a custodial parent.

If a parent has primary custody, the child mostly lives with the primary custodial parent and visits the noncustodial parent. In sole custody agreements, children spend the vast majority of their time with their custodial parent and rarely see their noncustodial parent. Children in sole custody arrangements tend to see their noncustodial parents less than in primary custody agreements.

Legal Custody

Legal custody is a parent’s right and responsibility to make significant decisions on behalf of the child. Parents can either have joint or sole legal custody of a child. A parent with legal custody has the legal authority to make significant decisions regarding a child’s health, education, well-being, and upbringing. Specifically, a parent with legal custody makes decisions about a child’s:

• Education
• Home
• Health care
• Extracurricular activities
• Travel
