What is Custody, Care and Control?
Access is the right of the parent who doesn’t have care and control to spend time with the child.
*In most cases, both parents share custody (called joint custody), but only one parent is given care and control, while the other is granted access.
What are the Different Kinds of Custody Orders?
- Sole Custody – One parent has full authority to make all major decisions about the child without needing the other parent’s consent.
- Joint Custody – Both parents must make major decisions together, even if the child lives primarily with one of them.
- Hybrid Custody – One parent has custody, but must consult the other for specific matters (e.g., education or religion).
- Split Custody – Rare cases where siblings are split between both parents, each with custody of different children.
What Are the Different Types of Access?
- Reasonable Access – Flexible, based on mutual agreement between parents.
- Fixed Access – Structured schedule (e.g., weekends, holidays, birthdays).
- Supervised Access – Required when the court feels a third party should be present for the child’s safety.
- No Access – Ordered in rare cases where contact may harm the child’s well-being.
How Do the Courts Decide on Custody Arrangements?
The child’s welfare is the court’s top priority. The court considers:
- The child’s needs (emotional, educational, and physical)
- The ability of each parent to meet those needs
- The child’s relationship with each parent
- Any history of abuse, neglect, or family violence
- The willingness of each parent to cooperate
*In most cases, the court encourages joint parental responsibility, unless there are compelling reasons not to.
