Some important terms to know:
Joint Custody: Joint custody is a court order whereby custody of a child is awarded to both parties. Many states recognize two forms of joint custody: joint physical custody, and joint legal custody
Joint Physical Custody: In joint physical custody, which is also known as joint physical care, actual lodging and care of the child is shared according to a court-ordered custody schedule. “Where does the child live?” A division of the child’s time.
Joint Legal Custody: In joint legal custody, both parents share the ability to have access to educational, health, and other records, and have equal decision-making status where the welfare of the child is concerned. Any of the legal affairs of the child, of any nature, but specifically including medical, police, and school, shall be considered to be joint between these parents.
Sole Custody: Sole custody is both legal and physical custody by one parent. A parent with “sole custody” of a child has exclusive physical and legal custody rights concerning the child. Sole custody arrangements are rare, and are usually limited to situations in which one parent has been deemed unfit or incapable of having any form of responsibility over a child—for example, due to drug addiction or evidence of child abuse.
Split Custody: A custody arrangement in the case of multiple children, awarding sole custody of one child to one parent and sole custody of another child to the other parent. The term “split custody” describes the situation where the son(s) live with Dad, and the daughter(s) live with Mom. Judges generally disfavor this arrangement because they are reluctant to split up siblings.
This also means that the time of the children is more or less equally split, probably with a mathematically correct formula that pleases the parents, even though it’s not good for the children. . Hello? It is not good for the children, a child who spends a week here, then a week there (or two weeks here, then two weeks there). He does not live here, and he does not live there.
