Understanding Child Custody Terms

What Is Physical Custody

What Is Physical Custody?

Physical custody is about where your child lives and who takes care of them every day. It can be joint, where both parents share time and responsibilities, or sole, where the child primarily lives with one parent. When making custody decisions, courts look at what’s best for the child, including their safety, stability, and each parent’s ability to provide care.

What Is Legal Custody

What Is Legal Custody?

Legal custody is about who makes important decisions for your child, such as choices about school, medical care, and religion. In some cases, parents share these decisions. In others, one parent has the authority to make them.

What Are Child Support Orders

What Are Child Support Orders?

Child support is money one parent pays to help cover the costs of raising a child. The amount is usually based on state guidelines, including each parent’s income and how much time the child spends with each parent. Child support is often included as part of a custody agreement.

Family Law FAQs

We’ve answered the most common questions to help you get started with confidence.

What does a Legal Document Assistant (LDA) do in family law cases?

A Legal Document Assistant (LDA) prepares legal documents based on your instructions and ensures they are completed accurately and in compliance with court requirements. At CD&D Associates, we assist with divorce, custody, parenting time, and support filings β€” helping you move forward without paying high attorney fees.

Note: We are not attorneys and do not provide legal advice.

Hiring an attorney typically involves higher hourly fees and legal representation. Using an LDA is a cost-effective option when you already know what you want to file and need help preparing and filing documents correctly.

If you need legal advice or court representation, we can provide attorney referrals upon request.
