CHILD CUSTODY

Both parents must decide on the custody of any minor children under the age of 18. Physical custody relates to living with and supervising the children. Legal custody refers to decisions relating to health, education, welfare and other significant decisions affecting the children. Both physical and legal custody can be sole or joint. See the section on “Custody of Minor Children in a Divorce” for more information.
