More About How Child Custody Is Determined In Connecticut - Parrino Shattuck, PC
In a divorce, the court will issue custody orders that address both physical and legal custody of all minor children.
Physical custody refers to where the child lives. In cases of joint or shared physical custody, the child spends time with each parent based on an agreement between the parents or a court order that serves the child's best interests. Parenting plans can vary widely to fit the family's needs and the child's requirements. Sometimes, one parent may be named the "primary physical custodian."
Legal custody involves the right to make important decisions about the child's education, religious upbringing, medical care, and overall welfare. Generally, the law favors joint legal custody, believing it's in the child's best interest. However, the court may grant sole legal custody in specific situations, allowing one parent to make all major decisions.
The court will consider a variety of factors before issuing a decision on physical and legal custody. We have compiled a list of some of these factors.
