Child Custody
Child custody is one of the most sensitive and crucial aspects of divorce and separation.
Types of Child Custody
✔ Sole Custody – One parent is granted full custody of the child, while the other may have visitation rights.
✔ Joint Custody – Both parents share custody and participate in the child’s upbringing and decision-making.
✔ Legal Custody – A parent has the right to make important decisions regarding the child’s education, healthcare, and welfare.
✔ Physical Custody – The child lives with one parent, while the other parent may have visitation rights.
Factors Considered in Child Custody Cases
Courts prioritize the child’s best interests when determining custody arrangements. Some key factors include:
✔ Child’s Age & Preference – Older children may be allowed to express their custody preference.
✔ Parental Stability & Capability – The court assesses each parent’s ability to provide a safe and nurturing environment.
✔ Financial Stability – The ability of a parent to provide for the child’s needs.
✔ Parental Bonding – The emotional connection between the child and each parent.
✔ History of Abuse or Neglect – Any past incidents of domestic violence, substance abuse, or neglect can influence custody decisions.
Legal Process for Child Custody Cases
- Filing a Custody Petition – A parent seeking custody files a petition in family court.
- Mediation & Counseling – Courts may recommend mediation to help parents reach an amicable agreement.
- Court Hearings & Evidence Submission – Parents present evidence, witness testimonies, and financial records.

- Visitation Rights & Modifications – If needed, visitation schedules or custody arrangements can be modified over time.
