What To Expect In Child Custody Cases

Few issues in the family law realm are more important than child custody. This critical determination will impact your children’s lives in a major way. Reaching the right resolution involves tailoring an approach to fit the needs of your family situation.

In Indiana, there are two main aspects of custody:

• Physical custody refers to where the children spend their time. In many cases, physical custody is shared, though not necessarily on a 50-50 basis. One parent may have primary physical custody while the other would be deemed the noncustodial parent.
• Legal custody refers to your authority to make major decisions in the children’s lives. Legal custody is also typically shared, which requires both parties to remain involved in co-parenting.

As you can see, custody determinations are rarely black or white. Children most often benefit from having both parents play an active role in their lives. Yet because each situation is so different, much depends on the unique factors at play in your case.
