Mesa Legal Custody Attorney
Want to Make Decisions for Your Child?
Child custody consists of parenting time and legal custody. Legal custody is the right
to make certain determinations for your child. including:
- Schooling
- Medical care
- Religious upbringing
- Housing
While married, parents typically make these decisions together, so most
courts prefer that parents continue to share decision-making responsibilties after a
divorce. Sometimes, parents will make all decisions together. Other times, one
parent will have sole decision-making over schooling, while the other
decides medical care, or another variation. Unfortunately, child custody
remains one of the most hotly disputed elements of
family law.
When Would a Court Grant Sole Legal Custody?
There are some situations, however, when a court would grant legal custody
to only one parent. This is referred to as sole legal custody.
- One parent has a history of abuse or neglect.
- One parent has been charged or convicted of a crime that would endanger
the child.
- One parent is unable to cooperate with another.
- The parents lives a far distance away from each other.
