When a couple decides to end their relationship, it becomes even more complex when there are shared children, in which case child custody becomes the forefront of the breakup of divorce. Custody is determined according to a number of details specific to each couple and child, and in some cases, children who are old enough have a say may even request to have primary custody with one parent over the other.
There are different kinds of custody, and they include joint physical custody, joint legal custody, sole physical custody, and sole legal custody.
