The Types of Child Custody

When parents divorce, the kids are the most important aspect of the process. You want the best for your children regardless of how much you dislike your previous spouse. With that said, there are many types of child custody parents can enroll in to give their children the best life possible. Each of these custody types are supported by The Fetty Firm. We can help you find the best fit for your situation.

Joint Custody

Joint custody is the most popular and the preferred custody type of the Texas courts. This is when both parents have legal custody over the child. There are further joint custody types, such as legal custody and shared physical custody. Joint legal is when both parents have the right to make decisions for their children. Shared physical custody is when the chile has two legal residences. The parents will generally have different times of the week when the child is at their home.

Sole Custody

Sole custody is very straight forward. This is when one parent gets legal and physical custody of the child. All decisions pertaining to the child are made by the one parent rather than both. The child does not have two residences like they would in a joint custody.

Temporary Custody

Temporary custody is usually only during the initial process of a divorce. The child will reside at the established parent’s home until a decision is made in court. This is a short-term arrangement and is not expected to last long. The court will determine what the final custody ruling is.

Split Custody

This form of custody is a more complex type from the previous versions. Split custody involves two or more children. In this type of custody, a single parent does not have full custody of all the children. This type of custody will sometimes allow children to live at their preferred parent’s house. This all depends on the child’s age and other relevant factors.

Two words: choose Fetty
Some lawyers don’t care about you if your case won’t bring in the big bucks. Some lawyers try to turn your case into a bigger case than is necessary for a bigger profit.
But The Fetty Firm is a no nonsense straight forward efficient company that handles your best interest effectively. Her and her team will also scream YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH in court when necessary – choose Fetty and thank me later.

Teressa Lynn

I live in Illinois, but my ex husband lives in Texas. I contacted Rashelle Fetty afraid that I wouldn’t be able to find a “Good” Attorney before my hearing. Not only did I find an “Amazing” Attorney, but Ms Fetty handle my case with such care and professionalism. With my being in a totally different state Ms. Fetty kept my abreast of every motion filed, every discovery made, and my divorce was dissolved amicably. Now that my case is done, I’m truly going to miss not only Ms Fetty but also her assistant Lindsey Terrell. Thank you both for making an undesirable experience less painful.
