Many people who are involved in a divorce case are also going to have to file for child custody. One of the parents would have to take greater responsibility of the child’s upbringing. At the same time they may not have full knowledge of the types of child custody cases. In a press release in a local newspaper the family law firm briefly explains the 3 main types of child custody cases.

Sole custody

This is when the child custody case gives full custody rights to one parent but in today’s world this type of child custody is rarely granted but there are circumstances when it is granted.  The non-custodial parent can be given visitation rights although they may be supervised.

Joint Custody

This is when the parents share equal rights and is also known as shared parenting.  The parents will be ordered to prepare a schedule with mutual consent or the court will if the parents cannot do it.  

Temporary Custody

While the divorce proceedings are going on the family court can give a ruling on the child custody cases if the parents cannot come to an agreement out-of-court.  Although the ruling states that it is temporary custody, after the divorced is finalized it is usually upheld as permanent.  

When contacted by the media, Greg Schreier said, “At Schreier & Housewirth every step in legal procedure is guided by a perfect case strategy and plan to increase the winning chances of clients.
