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.
Some parents may choose a joint-custody arrangement, which is when the children spend about an equal time living with both parents. This type of custody arrangement does have its plusses and minuses, however. Supporters of joint custody say it lessens the feeling of loss that children may experience during a divorce.
