Legal custody means having the right to make important decisions about your children, such as where they go to school, what religion they are, and major medical decisions. Physical custody refers to the children's living arrangements. Custody can be “sole” or “joint.” Sole custody means only one parent has custody. Joint custody means the parents share custody.
If parents share legal custody, they must make important decisions about their children together. If parents share physical custody, the children take turns living with each parent. A parenting time schedule tells when the children spend time with each parent. If a court order says “reasonable” parenting time, parents must work out the specific dates, times, and other conditions together. The children’s ages, how far apart the parents live, and the parents' schedules can affect a parenting time schedule.
If a judge orders specific parenting time, all the details are included in the court order. It may work best to have a specific parenting time schedule if you and the other parent can’t easily talk to one another or agree on a parenting time schedule.
Many family courts have a standard parenting time schedule that may be used in your order. A standard parenting time schedule normally gives parents every other week and/or weekend. Holidays are split between the parents, and they switch each year.
For example, this year you have the children for Christmas Eve and the other parent has the children for Christmas Day. Next year the other parent will have Christmas Eve and you will have Christmas Day.
If one parent is irresponsible or has harmed or threatened to harm the children, the judge may order parenting time to be supervised by a third party. The supervisor could be a friend, relative, or another person the judge chooses. The law says generally that custody arrangements for children should remain stable.
Because of that, the judge will always ask whether the child has an (ECE) with one or both parents. If so, it will take more for a judge to change the current arrangement. When deciding if there is an ECE, the judge looks at what the child's life is like. For example, does the child look to one (or both) of the parents for love and affection, food, housing, and other needs? Is the child old enough to have been in the current arrangement for a significant amount of time?
You and your child’s other parent may be able to work out custody and parenting time for your children. If you aren’t able to agree, the judge will decide custody and parenting time based on the best interests of the child.
