Types of Child Custody
In Massachusetts, custody is typically broken into two categories:
- Legal custody – The right to make crucial decisions regarding a child’s education, health care, and religious upbringing.
- Physical custody – Determines where the child primarily resides and which parent is responsible for day-to-day care.
Whether you are pursuing sole or joint custody, our experienced attorneys are prepared to negotiate or litigate arrangements that support your child’s well-being and preserve your essential role as a parent. We are committed to helping you find a resolution that promotes stability, consistency, and a positive environment for your child.
Parenting Plans
Divorcing or separating parents generally must submit a Parenting Plan when seeking custody or parenting time arrangements through the court.
A Parenting Plan outlines:
- How legal and physical custody will be shared
- Details concerning parenting schedules
- Holiday and other special event arrangements
- Communication methods for parents and children
- Decision-making responsibilities
The goal is to provide structure, reduce conflict, and promote the child’s stability and well-being. Courts prioritize the child's best interests, and a well-crafted Parenting Plan can demonstrate each parent’s commitment to cooperative co-parenting.
At Schaefer Law PC, we help clients create comprehensive, practical Parenting Plans that reflect their family’s unique needs while meeting all legal requirements.
