Child Custody Options
Both physical custody and legal custody will need to be determined. Physical custody refers to with whom a child will spend his or her time. Legal custody refers to who will make important decisions about the child's upbringing, concerning education, religion, and health care.
- Joint custody — Both physical and legal custody may be assigned as joint, giving both parents equal legal rights in the upbringing of a child.
- Sole custody — In certain situations, sole custody is awarded to one parent, who is given the right and responsibility to make all decisions on behalf of the child.
In Alabama, child custody determinations are made keeping the best interests of the child involved at all times. Talk to a lawyer from our firm to get the facts about child custody laws in Alabama.
