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.
In most states, two kinds of custody apply to all separating families: legal and physical. Legal custody refers only to major decision-making, and physical custody refers to the parent with whom a child lives. A parent with sole physical custody is sometimes referred to as the residential or custodial parent; this is the parent with residential custody. When a child lives a relatively equal amount of time in each parentâs home, this is referred to as shared custody, also often called joint custody.
