What Is Child Custody?
Child custody refers to the legal responsibility for a child’s care and decision-making. In New York, custody is divided into two main types:
- Legal Custody: The right to make important decisions about the child’s upbringing, education, and healthcare.
- Physical Custody: Where the child lives on a day-to-day basis.
We help parents understand their rights and responsibilities under New York family law and create custody arrangements that work in the best interest of the child.
