custody agreements

Child-sharing arrangements

Custody agreements are legal arrangements that specify how parents will share responsibilities for their children after separation or divorce.

These documents typically outline physical custody (where the child lives), legal custody (who makes major decisions), visitation schedules, and provisions for holidays and special occasions.

Courts may approve agreements reached by parents or impose terms when parents cannot agree.
