There are several different types of child custody: 1  Legal Custody: Parents who have legal custody are able to make legal decisions on matters impacting the child. 2  Physical Custody: Children live with parents who have physical custody. 3  Sole Custody: One parent has both physical and legal custody of the child.
Major decisions relate to things like education, religion or medical care. They don't include day-to-day issues, such as whether your dieting teenager can skip dinner â that falls to the parent she's residing with on that particular day. In some states, the term full custody refers only to legal custody. It does not take into consideration which parent your children live with most of the time. Physical custody refers to which parent has the children staying at her home most nights of the year.
