full custody
Complete parental control
Full custody is a legal arrangement in which one parent has sole responsibility for a child's care and decision-making, with the other parent having limited or no visitation rights.
The term appears in divorce and separation proceedings: She was awarded full custody after the trial.
Full custody may refer to physical custody (where the child lives), legal custody (authority over major decisions), or both.
