What Type Of Custody Are You Looking For?

Before filing for child custody you should understand which type of custody you are looking to accomplish. The two types of custody include:

• Physical Custody – child access and visitation; where will the child live and the amount of time they spend with each parent.

• Legal Custody – decision-making authority; long-term decisions about the child’s upbringing including education, religion, care, health, welfare, etc.
