Types of Child Custody
Child custody can be categorized into different types, including:
1. Physical Custody
Physical custody refers to the right and responsibility to provide primary residence for the child. This means the child lives with the custodial parent, who is responsible for their day-to-day care.
2. Legal Custody
Legal custody involves the authority to make decisions regarding the child's upbringing, education, healthcare, and religious practices. It can be awarded solely to one parent (sole legal custody) or jointly to both parents (joint legal custody).
3. Sole Custody
Sole custody grants one parent exclusive physical and legal custody of the child. The other parent may be granted visitation rights or limited involvement in decision-making processes.
4. Joint Custody
Joint custody allows both parents to share physical and/or legal custody of the child. It often requires effective co-parenting and cooperation between the parents to ensure the child's well-being.
5. Temporary Custody
Temporary custody may be awarded in situations where there is a need for immediate custody arrangements during ongoing legal proceedings. This ensures stability and security for the child until a permanent custody order is made.
The Child Custody Process
The child custody process can be complex, involving various stages and legal requirements. At Troy Powell Law Firm, we guide our clients through each step with care and diligence, working towards a favorable resolution.

Our skilled negotiators work towards finding common ground and reaching mutually acceptable agreements that prioritize the child's best interests.
