Our communication through the child custody process will be open and we explain to you what is happening at a level you understand.

Every child custody case varies and the outcome of it depends on each situation. There are two types of child custody: joint custody and sole custody. Joint custody is when the judge will allow equal custody rights for both parents and sole custody is when the court grants custody to one parent only and that will be the primary caregiver to that child. In general we find that a majority of parents opt for joint custody and occasionally we see that sole custody is rewarded.

There is also physical and legal custody. Physical custody is when the parent has to physically take care of the child whereas legal custody the parent is allowed to have decision-making rights about the child's education, religion, and overall health.
