The child custody attorneys at Jason White & Associates will address the following types of child custody arrangements with you:
- Legal custody: Legal Custody is the privilege and obligation to make decisions about child-rearing. Decisions involve education, religion, medical care, and discipline. When awarded joint legal custody, parents share these rights.
- Physical custody: Physical custody is determined by the annual overnights each parent has with the child. Based on certain factors, most courts order joint physical custody must often be met.
- Sole physical custody: A sole custody award provides one parent with exclusive physical custody privileges and allows the other limited visitation.
- Joint physical custody: A parent has joint physical custody if they have 111 or more overnights with the minor child each year.
