Understanding Child Custody & Visitation
Child custody laws in New York are designed to ensure that children have a safe, stable, and loving environment while maintaining meaningful relationships with both parents. There are two main types of custody: legal custody and physical custody.
- Legal Custody: This refers to the right to make important decisions about a child’s upbringing, including education, healthcare, and religion. Legal custody can be joint (shared by both parents) or sole (granted to one parent).
- Physical Custody: This pertains to where the child lives and the day-to-day care they receive. Physical custody can also be joint or sole, with visitation rights granted accordingly.
Visitation arrangements outline the schedule and conditions under which a non-custodial parent spends time with their child. These agreements promote ongoing parental involvement and help foster healthy parent-child relationships.
