During a divorce or separation, one of the difficult decisions parents will have to make is in regards to child custody. Although both parents will most likely be involved in their child's life, the question of which parent will have physical custody will need to be answered. Legal custody differs from physical custody in that it refers to the parent's right and responsibility to help in the decision-making process that will surround the child's upbringing.

In California, there are four main types of child custody: sole physical custody, joint physical custody, sole legal custody, and join legal custody. When one parent is awarded sole physical custody, the other parent will usually have visitation rights. Other members of the family, such as grandparents, may also have visitation rights. The length and dates of these visits are usually determined by the court or the parents. Click here to learn more about child custody.
