There are over 13 million divorce parents with minor children in the United States. Parents have
difficult decisions to make regarding their children’s lives; determining child custody and visitation can be a
challenging process. A skilled family law attorney can ease the stress of this process and help you understand how the
law applies to your specific situation.
There are two types of custody determined in a divorce decree: physical custody and legal custody.
Physical custody is the day-to-day responsibilities of the parent to care for the child as well as the rights to
direct the child’s daily activities. Legal custody is the rights and responsibilities associated with decisions
regarding the child’s upbringing.
There are many options regarding the division of these rights and responsibilities between spouses. Common custody
arrangements include: sole custody, joint custody, split custody, and shared parenting. It is important to seek the
legal advice of a skilled divorce lawyer with experience in child custody and visitation to learn more about these common
custody arrangements.
