Child Custody

In a child custody case, the court will decide both legal and physical custody of the child.

Legal Custody involves the care and control of a child. All decisions regarding the child are made by the person who has legal custody. Legal custody can be granted to one party (sole custody) or both parties (joint custody). Physical custody provides the right to have the child live with the person awarded custody.

As a parent, you should know what your rights are concerning custody, visitation, and child support. The Law Office of Thomas K. Mallon can help you reach an agreement with the father or mother of you children to ensure that you are doing what is best for the child.
