What Is Child Custody?
This refers to the legal authority of a parent who has the child residing with them the majority of the time. Just because a parent has legal custody, typically the court will allow joint decision making for all major decisions such as the child’s education, welfare, and health. Sole decision making means that only one parent will have the legal right to make these types of decisions for their child(ren). One can be the primary custodial parent, but still be required to work with the other parent to make decisions.
