Preferred term

custody: shared and joint  

Definition

  • After divorce, parents can have shared legal or shared physical custody arrangements for their children (or both). Legal custody determines who has the right to make major decisions on behalf of the child, whereas physical custody determines who has control of the child's daily care.
