Understanding Child Custody and Support

Child custody determines where a child lives and how decisions regarding their upbringing are made. Custody arrangements can include legal custody, which involves decision-making authority, and physical custody, which pertains to where the child resides. Child support ensures that both parents contribute to the child’s financial needs, covering essentials like housing, education, healthcare, and extracurricular activities.
