Child Care and Visitation

Legal custody means that a parent has the right and responsibility to make decisions about the upbringing of their child on such important issues as the choice of school, religion, pastime, medical care, etc. Legal custody does not depend on which of the parents the child lives with, whether one or the other parent visits him. Therefore, courts generally grant legal custody to both parents, i.e. making decisions for the benefit of the child.

The court may, for example, award joint legal custody to the parents, but to one parent also sole physical custody. This means that your child will live with you, and the other parent will only get the right to visit or meet with him. This is a very common option for the device of a child after the divorce of the parents. In this situation, both parents make joint parenting decisions, but one will be the “home” parent while the other will be a visiting or meeting patron.

In other cases, parents choose such an order in which the child lives in turn with each of them for one or several months. In general, joint physical care plays a positive role in that it guarantees the child alternate contact with both parents, their active participation in his fate. In any case, to ensure peace and joy in the soul of the child, both parents will need cooperation with each other, not confrontation.
