Joint legal custody, how does it work? There are two types of custody in Michigan, The first is legal custody and the other is physical custody. Legal custody is when a parent is chosen to make important decisions for the child which includes school, health care, and other important factors that will directly impact the child’s life. Physical custody is the right to have possession and control over the child. In other words, physical custody is who the child lives with the majority of the time.
Joint legal custody is when both parents share equal responsibility and authority over the child. This allows both parents to still raise their children while being divorced. The court will look at the fitness of either parents, the agreement of both parents, and the best interest of the child and will decide if it will be beneficial for everyone involved. Custody cases can be difficult and time consuming but with an experienced attorney to help guide you through the process you’ll have nothing to worry about.
