Physical custody and legal custody: What is the difference?
Physical custody refers to where the children live. A common child custody arrangement involves one parent having sole physical custody and the other having visitation rights. A visitation schedule is arranged for the parent who does not have physical custody. Legal custody refers to the role each parent has in making decisions about issues such as religion, medical care and education. In many situations, both parents are given shared legal custody.
