Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between legal and physical custody?
Legal custody refers to the right to make important decisions about the child’s life, while physical custody pertains to where the child lives.
How do courts determine custody?
Courts consider the best interests of the child, including the child’s age, the parent-child relationship, each parent’s living situation, and the child’s preference if of a suitable age.
Can we create our own custody agreement?
Yes, parents can create their custody agreement, but it must be approved by the court to be legally binding.
What is joint custody?
Joint custody involves both parents sharing legal and/or physical custody of the child, requiring cooperation in raising the child.
How often do fathers get full custody?
The frequency varies; courts aim for the child’s best interests, without preference to gender. The parent’s ability to provide a stable, nurturing environment is key.
Can a parent refuse visitation if child support is not paid?
No, visitation rights and child support are separate issues. Non-payment of child support does not legally justify withholding visitation.
Can a child choose which parent to live with?
In some jurisdictions, a child’s preference is considered if they are of a certain age and maturity, but it’s not the sole determining factor.
What if my ex-partner violates the custody agreement?
Violations can be addressed legally, potentially resulting in modification of the custody arrangement or legal penalties.
How does relocation affect custody and visitation?
Relocation can necessitate modification of custody and visitation arrangements. Courts will consider the impact on the child and the feasibility of maintaining a relationship with both parents.
How is custody handled for unmarried parents?
Custody principles are the same, but the father may need to establish paternity to seek custody or visitation rights.
