Understanding Child Custody
Contrary to popular belief, custody is not about who the child lives with or how much time the child spends with each of the parents. It does mean, however, having the legal right to make major decisions about the child’s care and upbringing. The parent who has the custody has the right to make important decisions about education, health and medical care and religion. There are different types of custody arrangements that can be made for the best interest of the child.
