Who Gets Custody?

Custody arrangements incorporate two types of custody: physical custody (parenting time) and legal custody. A parenting plan determines where a child will live; legal custody determines which parent can make significant decisions concerning the child's welfare. Either type of custody can be shared in a joint custody arrangement. While courts typically prefer joint custody arrangements, these are not always in a child's best interests Sole custody, when necessary, leaves decision-making in the hands of one parent.

Numerous factors may be considered to determine who will actually receive custody of a minor child:

• The relationship between the parent and the child
• The ability to provide for a child
• The income of both parents
• Where the parents live
• The ability of the parents to provide for the child
• Where the child wishes to reside (in certain situations)
• Parent's history of abuse or criminal records
