Understanding the Different Types of Child Custody

Navigating child custody can be complex, and understanding the various types is crucial for making informed decisions that prioritize your child's well-being. At the Law Office of Brett H. Pritchard, we are committed to guiding you through this intricate process.

There are primarily two types of child custody arrangements:

• Physical Custody: This refers to where the child lives and who is responsible for their daily care. Parents can share physical custody, or one parent may have primary physical custody with visitation rights for the other.
• Legal Custody: This involves the right to make important decisions regarding the child’s upbringing, including education, health care, and religious training. Parents can share legal custody, or one parent may have sole legal custody.

Each custody arrangement can significantly impact your child's life, and understanding these distinctions can help you advocate effectively for your child's best interests. Our experienced team can help you explore your options and develop a tailored strategy that aligns with your family's needs.
