Children are the most important entity in any divorce, and parents seek parenting plans that ensure they will be an integral part of their child's life after the divorce. For that reason, child custody is one of the most often contentious issues in any divorce proceeding.

Joint and Sole Custody
There are two specific types of child custody: legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody assigns the right to make decisions regarding the child's schooling, religious upbringing, health care and other issues. Physical custody refers to the parenting time both parents receive and where the child resides. These custody arrangements can be made in two forms: joint custody and sole custody.
Even when one parent has primary physical custody, the court will usually issue visitation rights that make sure the other parent is still involved in his or her child's life.
