Types Of Child Custody Arrangements
There are two main types of custody — legal and physical. Parenting plans establish legal custody for individuals who will be able to make decisions in their child’s life regarding education, medical treatment and religion. Physical custody refers to the responsibility of providing daily care to child.
Our lawyers have experience representing individuals through custody battles. We will work with you to establish a joint custody or sole custody agreement that protects your children’s best interests and achieves your goals.
