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.
Types of Custody. Joint Custody is a court order in which the custody of a child is awarded to both parties. This âsharedâ arrangement could apply to a physical custody arrangement and/or the legal custody over the child. Primary Custody is a court order that assigns the care and control of the child primarily in the hands of one parent. This physical custody arrangement can vary, but which ever parent has greater percentage of custody over the child is considered to have primary custody.
