Child custody is one of the most important issues that will need to be addressed when a couple with minor children decides to divorce. Many times temporary agreements will need to be worked out before final decisions are made. The court considers the child's welfare paramount in all divorce-matters, including custody. Custody agreements cover both the physical custody and legal custody of the child. Physical custody pertains to where the child will live, while legal custody establishes which parent will make decisions regarding the child's education, religion, medical care and other child-rearing matters. Types of custody include:
- Joint physical custody
- Joint legal custody
- Joint physical and legal custody
- Sole physical custody
- Sole legal custody
Generally the court prefers that a child have as much contact with both parents as possible. When a child lives primarily with one parent, the other parent will in most cases be granted visitation rights.
