Sole Custody is when both legal and physical custody are given to one parent. The child has only one primary residence. Split Custody - Split custody is easiest to describe in a situation where there are two children and each parent obtains full physical custody over one child.
Legal custody determines which parent will make decisions concerning the child's or children's health, safety, education, and welfare. One parent can make these decisions alone, which is known as sole legal custody, or both parents may retain the right to make these decisions, known as joint legal custody.
