Types of Child Custody


If you are seeking custody of your child or children following a divorce or break up, you need to know about the different types of child custody arrangements, including joint child custody, sole or full child custody, split child custody, and non-parental or third-party child custody.
In child custody cases, a judge will consider the best interests of the child. According to the American Bar Association, most states have laws that encourage children to have an ongoing relationship with both parents, but if one parent tries to undermine the childs relationship with the other parent, that could count against the parent when custody arrangements are being made. When other factors are equal, a court may grant custody to the parent who is more likely to encourage good relationships with his or her ex.
Determining custody arrangements can be difficult for couples who are splitting up. You may not be able to live with your ex, but you will always be connected to them through your children. Its important to understand the different types of child custody and which one will work best for your children, you, and your ex.  Read more at: http://www.attorneys.com/child-custody/types-of-child-custody/
