Determining Legal, Physical, Sole and Joint Custody
It serves the family best when the parents create their own custody arrangements. If the parents cannot agree upon a plan, the court will make its own custody agreement determination. The court has sole discretion in matters of custody. As such, both parents are generally treated equally and custody determinations are made based upon the individual circumstances and fitness of each parent. There are four custody aspects that will ultimately be decided:
- Legal custody – the day to day decisions of the children’s education, health and general well being
- Physical custody – which parent the children live with
- Sole legal custody – when one parent has the authority to make the decisions for the children’s education, health and well being
- Joint legal custody – when both parents share the decisions related to the children’s education, health and well being
