Child Custody in Orlando
When You Have Questions about Child Custody
Of all the issues involved in the divorce process, child custody is often the most emotional and complex. The issue of child custody is an important one because it will have an effect on your children for many years to come. Because this is a sensitive area, many parents find it very hard to agree on child custody. When two parents are unable to agree on custody issues, the outcome will be decided by a judge in family court. It is best to try to agree on child custody in order to make the situation easier for everyone involved, especially the child or children. The attorneys at Katz & Phillips will review your case free of charge and provide you with some viable options for how to best proceed.
Understanding Child Custody Options
Child custody is composed of two different areas – physical custody and legal custody. Often these two are the same but sometimes they are not. Legal custody refers to determining which parent is responsible for the care of the child including such things as the school he or she attends, the medical care he or she receives, and the religion he or she learns. Physical custody, on the other hand, refers to the place where the child resides. Florida courts today often prefer to award joint custody in cases where both parents are equally fit to care for the child. The court will always make decisions based on what is in the best interest of the child.
