Child Custody
Divorce

Divorce

A parent with sole physical custody is referred to as the residential custodial parent; this is the parent with residential custody. A parent with legal custody can make decisions about the child's education, religious upbringing, and medical issues. Generally, in an uncontested divorce, parties share “legal custody,” also known as joint legal custody and one parent remains the residential custodial parent. When parties have “joint legal custody” this means that the decision making is shared by both parents.
