Buffalo Child Custody Lawyer on the Differences Between Legal and Residential Custody

As a Buffalo Child Custody Lawyer, clients will ask for clarification of the distinctions between legal custody and residential custody.

• Legal custody designates who makes the important decisions in the child’s life, whether one parent has sole legal custody or both parents share joint legal custody.
• Residential custody refers to a primary residential parent with whom that child lives and, in some instances, this can be shared equally.
• When the parties can work together, they will share joint legal custody and both will make decisions about important aspects of a child’s life.

Are you determining the best custody arrangement for your family?  Contact experienced Buffalo Child Custody Lawyer Michael Ranzenhofer for guidance.
