Custody and Visitation Attorney in New Jersey
Child custody and visitation cases can become difficult. Oftentimes, parents are in disagreement as to where they think their children should spend their time. Sometimes, child custody cases can be more difficult to resolve than all the remaining aspects of the divorce. No matter what happens in a child custody or visitation case, the most important thing to keep in mind is always the best interests of the child.

Types of Child Custody
There are two types of child custody that need to be addressed in any divorce involving children:
- Legal Custody — This type of custody gives an individual the right to make decisions regarding the upbringing of a child. These issues include decisions about health, education and more.
- Physical Custody — Physical custody grants a parent the right to have the child live with him or her. Joint physical custody may be granted to both parents, or sole physical custody may be granted to one parent. If one parent is granted full physical custody, visitation may be granted to the other.
Other Child Custody Options
Even prior to or after a final custody order has been issued, there may be custody issues that require resolution:
- Temporary Custody — When a couple is going through the process of a divorce, temporary custody may be granted to one of the parents or another member of the family.
- Custody/Visitation Modification — If one parent moves or something else happens that would affect a parent's ability to provide custody for his or her child, custody or visitation rights may be modified.
