Child custody disputes are one of the most emotionally challenging aspects of family law. When parents separate or divorce, the well-being and future of their children become the central focus. As a family lawyer, I have seen firsthand how custody arrangements can affect both parents and children. Understanding the legal distinctions between joint custody and sole custody is crucial for parents who are navigating this process. In this article, we will explore what joint custody and sole custody entail, the factors courts consider when awarding custody, and how SJ Law Experts can help you through this emotionally charged process. Being a practicing family lawyer, I would like to explain that the joint custody refers to a custody arrangement where both parents share the responsibility of raising their child. It is based on the principle that a child benefits most from having both parents actively involved in their life. Joint custody can be further divided into two types:
1. Joint Legal Custody: This means both parents share decision-making responsibilities for important matters in the child’s life, such as education, healthcare, and religious upbringing.
2. Joint Physical Custody: In this arrangement, the child spends substantial time living with both parents. The time division doesn’t have to be exactly equal, but the child will live with each parent for a significant period.
