Legal, Physical, Full & Joint Custody For many parents entering into a divorce, they are not even aware that there is more than one type of child custody.
If the Judge gives one parent sole legal custody, only one parent has the right to make major decisions for the child. Whoever has physical custody, also known as residential custody, is responsible for the actual physical care and supervision of a child.
Keeping a child away from the other parent can backfire in serious and permanent ways. If the other parent feels that the situation will not resolve itself, they have the legal right to bring the matter before the court to enforce the existing court order regarding the parenting plan and their visitation rights.
An unstable parent can be defined as someone who exhibits a pattern of erratic behavior, emotional volatility, and poor decision-making skills. This behavior can cause significant stress and trauma for children who depend on them for stability and security.
Drawbacks of sole legal custody For the parent excluded from major decision-making, resentment may build up. Over time, the children may view him or her as less important than the other parent because of the limited involvement in their lives. This can be a source of conflict within the family.
