In divorce cases where there are minors, parents will have to sort out child custody and visitation issues. Two child custody arrangement types exist in Sydney: legal and physical. Legal custody involves the right to make decisions for the child. On the other hand, physical custody refers to the child’s living arrangements and a parent’s visitation rights. Parents can agree on joint physical, joint legal, sole physical, or sole legal custody, as it best suits the child. Unlike property division, which is a one-time occurrence, or spousal support, which is temporal, child custody arrangements may last for a long time. Parents may need to work together and with family lawyer in Sydney NSW, to reach an appropriate decision.
