There are several different types of child custody: 1  Legal Custody: Parents who have legal custody are able to make legal decisions on matters impacting the child. 2  Physical Custody: Children live with parents who have physical custody. 3  Sole Custody: One parent has both physical and legal custody of the child.
The child lives with the parent who has this classification. The parent with legal custody has the right to make important legal decisions regarding the childâs welfare and upbringing. Both parents can have legal or physical custody of the child depending on the terms in the child custody ruling. Child custody issues are complex and each state adheres to its own child custody laws. In many cases, the issue is revisited in subsequent years.
