Think of the Children: Child Custody

Child custody laws may vary from state to state. In Florida, the judges would determine how the separated or divorced parents are to share responsibility for their children. There is a decision to be made regarding the ‘legal custody’ and the ‘physical custody’; that is, the court would consider different factors that would play into the child’s health and welfare. If the child is old enough, his or her preference will also factor be considered.

Legal custody refers to which parent would be capable of taking care of the educational, medical, religious and other decisions for the child. On the other hand, physical custody refers to which parent the child is better off living with. A lot go into these decisions, such as the parents’ relationship with the child, parenting abilities, living environment, parents’ mental and physical health, moral fitness, and other factors.

For example, can the second partner be legally considered a spouse, and does he or she have the same rights as the first spouse? If not properly resolved, these types of questions can prove to be disadvantageous for affected parties, especially when illicit movement of assets is involved.
