There are two main types of child custody in this state: sole custody and joint custody. Sole custody refers to when one parent has all the rights and responsibilities of making major decisions for their child. Such decisions include the child’s education, religious training, extracurriculars, and health care. Join custody refers to when both parents have equal rights and responsibilities relating to decision-making for their child.
Other types of custody include shared custody, in which both parents share nearly equal parenting time with the child (shared custody does not have to do with decision-making), and split custody, which is not favored by the courts because it means not all the children will live with the same parent. Any decision made by the court concerning child custody will depend on multiple factors, but especially the child’s best interests.
