Custody and Guardianship: What Every Parent Should Know

Child custody is decided based on the child’s best interest. Here are the key principles:

Types of Custody

• Sole Custody: One parent has full custody
• Joint Custody: Both parents share custody
• Shared Custody: Child spends time with each parent

Court’s Consideration

• Child’s age and preferences (older children)
• Each parent’s ability to care for the child
• Parent-child relationship quality
• Stability and environment

Visitation Rights

• Non-custodial parent typically gets visitation
• Can be flexible or fixed schedule
• Can be modified if circumstances change

Key Point

Courts prioritize the child’s welfare. Cooperation between parents leads to better outcomes.
