If I were to receive sole custody of my son, what exactly would change from the current custody agreement?
Basically, what's the difference between sole custody and primary physical/joint legal?
I already have a court order saying that I'm completely in charge over visitations.
What's the difference in Joint Legal custody and sole custody?
Sorry for a double post - I posted this in law %26amp; ethics too.How would filing for sole custody change the current situation?Sole custody you don't have to ask the other parent about anything regarding the child such as taking them to the doctor or changing schools,things like that and with joint custody you have to concur(act together) with the other parent in regards to the child.How would filing for sole custody change the current situation?Go Johnny go, go! Johnny be goodHow would filing for sole custody change the current situation?so you have sole physical custody and joint legal custody......
the only thing that would change filing for sole legal custody is that you would be responsible for all legal decisions regarding your child...its very difficult to have sole legal custody and sole physical custody...as to the fact the court does want the other parent involved in some way as well.....unless of course the other parnte is unfit then it be best to go to you....if you make most of the legal dicsions regarding your child alone anyway then not much would change....How would filing for sole custody change the current situation?Right now Johnny's Daddy has the right to make legal, medical, and other decisions on Johnny's behalf. With you having sole Legal custody he does not have that right.How would filing for sole custody change the current situation?Joint custody means that mom OR dad can sign papers, make decisions...He can still make legal decisions for your child, including trust funds or college savings accounts.
Sole custody means you run the show exclusively.
