shared custody

**Shared Custody**

Shared custody refers to a parenting arrangement in which both parents have legal and physical responsibility for their child following a separation or divorce. This approach aims to ensure that the child maintains a meaningful relationship with both parents by dividing time and decision-making responsibilities fairly. Shared custody arrangements can vary widely, including equal time spent with each parent or a schedule tailored to the child’s needs and family’s circumstances. It promotes cooperative co-parenting and prioritizes the child’s well-being and stability.
