Get Physical and Legal Custody of your Child In Orange County

In Californian law, Child Custody Attorney Orange County is divided into physical custody and joint custody. Both of these custodian ships can be either sole or shared by the parents.

● Physical Custody
Physical custody refers to the place of residence of the child or which parent the child gets to live with. This kind of custodianship can be either sole physical custody or joint physical custody.

Sole physical custodianship means that the child would live with one parent most of the time, with occasional visitations with the other parent, such as during festivals or holidays.

Joint physical custody refers to the equal physical possession of the child by both parents. The child can spend time with both of their parents (though it could mean spending time with one parent a little more than the other), which courts also favor due to the positive impact it has on the child's upbringing.

● Legal Custody
Legal Custody is more complex than physical custody, as it determines which parent would have the larger say on the critical decisions of the child's upbringing, such as education and healthcare. Legal custody can also be further divided into joint and sole legal custody.

Under joint legal custody, each parent has the right and responsibility to decide about the upbringing and future decisions of the child. Whether it's education, healthcare, or the welfare of the child, both parents have an equal say.

Meanwhile, sole legal custody gives one parent the exclusive right and responsibility to make decisions on their child's future. The parent with sole legal custody can decide on matters such as education, travel, healthcare, sports, residence, (etc.) of the child.
