Different Types of Custody. There are four main types of custody that you may be awarded during the child custody portion of the divorce process. They are: physical, legal, joint and split. The most common type of custody awarded is physical custody. Physical custody is awarded to the one parent that the children will be living with for a majority of the time.
Decision-Making. Most state legislatures provide for two kinds of custody: legal and physical. When a mother gives up physical custody, her children live with their father most of the time. When she cedes legal custody, she no longer has any say in major decisions that affect their lives.
