Know the Different Types of Child Custody

In the state of California there are varying custody arrangements. The two primary types are “Physical Custody” and “Legal Custody.” Physical custody refers to which parent the child lives with, and legal custody refers to which parent has the legal authority and duty to make important decision’s regarding the child’s life. For each of these categories, one parent might be granted “sole custody” or both parents might be granted “joint custody.”
