FAQ
Courts sometimes award joint legal custody, and select a parent to make a final decision if they cannot agree. This is sometimes called tie-breaker authority. ? Sole legal custody: One parent makes long-term decisions without having to come to an agreement with the other parent.
Also, if there is abuse, neglect, or substance abuse issues, that parent will be deemed unfit. Most cases where a parent is deemed unfit, Child Welfare Services has been involved and there may be a safety plan or an open active investigation against the parent.
1. Exercise your parental rights. To win a child custody case, you must be able to show the court that you have been, are, and will be, involved in your child's life on a consistent basis. The first step is to take advantage of your parental rights and see your children regularly.
The Court will consider the "capacity and disposition of each party to provide the child with food, clothing, medical care, and other material needs." Capacity is not limited to whether the parent can afford to buy these things. A parent may have the ability to purchase them, but not the disposition to do so.
In a joint custody arrangement, both parents are awarded legal custody of their child but not equal physical custody. Essentially, both parents have the rights and responsibilities of joint custodians (responsibility to confer, right to visitation, etc.) but they do not equally share the physical custody of the child.
