New York Child Custody Laws: What is Physical Custody? Physical custody defines where the child will live also called residential or physical custody.
New York Child Custody Laws: What is Legal Custody? Legal custody defines the right and responsibility to make decisions regarding the raising and upbring of the child.
New York Child Custody Laws: Joint Custody vs. Sole Custody Joint custody means the parents (joint custodians) make major decisions about the child together such as decisions about the child's education, health, and religion. The routine day-to-day decisions in joint custody are made by the parent who is physically caring for the child at the time. Sole custody means only one parent (the parent who has sole custody) has the right to make the major decisions about the child.
Some Factors the Court may consider to determine What's Best for the Child
The following list is not a complete list of factors, but some general factors the court may consider.
- Which parent has been the primary caregiver or main nurturer of the child
- The parenting skills of each parent, their strengths and weaknesses and their ability to provide for the child's special needs, if any, the mental and physical health of the parents
- Whether there has been domestic violence within the family
- The parent's work schedules, parent's availability, and child care plans of each parent
- The child's relationships with siblings, brothers, sisters, and members of the family
- The child's wishes or preference depending on the age of the child, maturity of the child, child's reasons for his/her wishes
- Each parent's ability to cooperate with the other parent and to encourage a relationship with the other parent, when it is safe to do so
