What Are My Child Custody Options?

Child custody agreements cover both physical custody (physical care of the child) and legal custody (right to make legal decisions for the child). It is possible for parents to have joint legal custody even if circumstances prevent joint physical custody. Even when physical custody is shared, children do not necessarily have to split their time evenly between two households, particularly if this would disrupt their school activities or prevent them from enjoying a stable home life. Your family law attorney in Upland CA can help you develop a custody and visitation agreement that supports your child’s best interests.
