custodies
States of guardianship
Custodies is the plural of custody, referring to multiple instances of legal guardianship or protective care.
Courts may award custodies of different children to different parents, or a single child's custody may be split into legal and physical custodies held by separate parties.
The term also appears in financial contexts, where institutions hold custodies of various assets or accounts on behalf of clients.
