Custody is the legal responsibility for the care and control of your child
(under 18). When the court issues a custody order, it will address these two
parts of custody: legal and physical.
Legal custody is the right to make major decisions about your child. Some
types of decisions included in the right of legal custody are: where your child
goes to school, whether your child gets surgery and what kind of religious
training your child receives.

A lawyer’s advice is crucial in helping you set forth the rights and obligations
you and your ex-spouse shall have after the divorce. In a Divorce Judgment, the
Judge must define either the husband or the wife as the custodial parent, and
vice-versa one of them must therefore become non-custodial parent.
Child custody disputes are in my experience the most emotional and
psychologically taxing when they are litigated in the courts. Most important,
you should have on your side a seasoned attorney who has the genuine compassion
to see that you and your child’s best interests are met.
