Knochel Law Office's divorce attorneys will ensure that you fully understand the terms of your custody arrangement. Depending on the specific circumstances of your case, they will help you choose from a variety of possibilities, including:

• Legal Custody: Parents with legal custody are empowered to make decisions about a child's schooling, religious education, and important issues like medical care. Mutually agreeable decisions are important because the court often awards parents with joint legal custody.
• Physical Custody: Having physical custody of your child means that you have the right to have your child live with you. In many cases, the courts will award joint physical custody, or give primary custody to one parent and visitation rights to the other.
