| Child Custody Agreement |
Child Custody forms the very frame work of post divorce life and needs proper consideration while filling divorce paper. While coming on a common agreement about the custody both the divorcing parent need to set aside their difference and put the best interest of the child forward.
There are four types of divorce custody agreement:
- Joint legal custody
- Solo legal custody
- Joint physical custody
- Solo physical custody
Joint legal custody is the best agreement that parents can reach to while deciding the child custody. In this agreement of child custody both the parents have all the right and responsibilities of the child i.e. education, health care and general upbringing. The child or children gets to spend time with both the parents.
In a sole legal custody either one of the parent has all the responsibilities of the child. The non custodial parent can get visitation rights to meet the child. The non custodial parent still has to pay for the child support whether they have the child custody or not.
In joint physical custody, child or children gets to spend time with both the parents. Both the parents get equal time to spend with the children. Both the parents are responsible for the upbringing of the children. In other words joint physical custody can be explained as a family where children are living with rotating parents.
Solo physical custody is a divorce custody and agreement in which one of the parent gets the child custody and the visitation rights are granted to the other parent. The custody is given in the best interest of the children but in this also, non custodial parent needs to pay child support to other parent for the child upbringing.
Coming on a common child custody plan is important for the future of the children. While granting the child custody, court looks for the best interest of the children and grants the custody to the parent who is more capable in looking after the children.
