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.
Physical custody refers to where the child lives, and how much time the child spends with each parent. Depending on the laws of the state, the court may award sole custody, joint custody, or primary physical custody. With sole custody, the child only lives with one parent, while the other parent may have scheduled visitation or parenting time.
