Child Custody and Visitation in North Carolina
In North Carolina, child custody has two components: legal custody and physical custody. Physical custody refers to the right to have the children reside with you. Legal custody allows you the opportunity to participate in decisions regarding your child's welfare, including decisions about education, religion and health care.
Typically, one parent is granted primary physical custody while both parents share legal custody. When preparing a visitation plan, most parties agree to every other weekend, a night or nights during the week, and rotation of vacations and holidays.
I will help you fashion custody and visitation arrangements that allows you to have meaningful time with your children while providing them with the best environment to meet their emotional, medical and educational needs.
