Sole vs Joint vs Shared vs Split Custody

July 21, 2015 Posted by Naranglaw About Narang Law Professional Corporation, access, Children, Custody, Custody Assessment, Divorce Lawyer, Family Law, Family Lawyer, Legal Aid, Legal Aid Lawyer, Marriage, Parenting


There are four main kinds of Custody Arrangements:

 

1) Sole custody: grants one parent the authority to make decisions for the child(ren)’s  upbringing or well-being, including the child(ren)’s education, health and religion. The child(ren) resides with the custodial parent and may or may not have access with the other parent.

 

2) Joint Custody: grants both parents  equal rights and responsibilities of the child(ren) and allows them to make decisions for the child(ren) together. Because of the interconnection between the parties, this custody arrangement requires cooperation between the parents. Child(ren) usually resides with one parent and has access to the other parent.

 

3) Shared Custody: affects the child support payments made by the assessing parent. If the accessing parent has the child(ren) residing with them for at least 40% of the time, then the child support payments may be reduced. 

 

4) Split Custody: grants each parent the custody of some of the children by splitting the residence of the children between the parents. Courts are reluctant to award this custody arrangement, especially for families with young children.
