About This Document
A child custody and visitation agreement is an agreement between two parents illustrating possible ways to share custody of their children following a divorce or separation. The agreement below describes a particular arrangement wherein one parent (the “Custodian”) has the sole physical custody to the child and has joint legal custody with the other parent (the “Non-Custodial Parent”). Physical Custody means that a parent has the right to have a child live with him or her. Legal custody of a child means having the right and the obligation to make decisions about a child's upbringing. Further, one parent can have either sole legal custody or sole physical custody of a child. Joint custody may be: joint legal custody, joint physical custody (where the children spend a significant portion of time with each parent), or joint legal and physical custody. When parents cannot agree on custody of their child, the court decides custody according to “the best interest of the child.”
