Sole Custody is when both legal and physical custody are given to one parent. The child has only one primary residence. Split Custody - Split custody is easiest to describe in a situation where there are two children and each parent obtains full physical custody over one child.
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.
