Custody arrangements refer to the legal decisions made about where a child will live and how they will spend time with each parent after a separation or divorce. These arrangements can be joint, where both parents share responsibilities, or sole, where one parent has primary custody. The goal is to ensure the child's well-being and maintain a healthy relationship with both parents. In creating custody arrangements, factors like the child's age, needs, and the parents' ability to cooperate are considered. Often, family courts help parents reach an agreement that serves the child's best interests, promoting stability and support during a challenging time.
