Understanding Child Custody

Child custody is generally the most complicated issue in a divorce. Dividing your child's time between parents can be emotionally exhausting for everyone involved. The well-being of your child may be at stake, which is why you should take measures to make this transition as seamless and amicable as possible. However, there may be other issues present such as domestic violence, financial insecurity, or other irresponsible behavior. If you're dealing with any of the aforementioned issues, call a reputable, assertive child custody attorney.

At Widner Family Law Group, we aim to educate our clients on the different types of child custody, which include:

• Sole custody: One parent holds both physical and legal custody of the child
• Legal custody: One parent is granted the right to make all legal decisions where the health and education of the child is concerned
• Physical custody: The child physically resides with only one parent
• Joint custody: Both parents enjoy equal responsibility, time, and custody of the child
