S9 Ep84: What is Physical Custody?

#ChooseGoldman Attorney Akiva Goldman explains the distinction between physical and legal custody in Michigan, focusing on where the child lives and how daily routines are managed. This guide helps parents understand the practical aspects of housing and overnight schedules during a custody case. • Physical custody focuses on the practical daily care of the child and where they sleep at night. • Legal custody is a separate concept that addresses major decision-making authority for school, medical, and religious choices. • Joint physical custody can be structured through various schedules, such as alternating weeks or split-week paradigms. • It is common for parents to share joint legal custody even if the child primarily resides with only one parent. • Court orders often maintain shared decision-making power even when one parent is disappointed by the living arrangement. 📞 (248) 590-6600 Call/Text 📅 For a Complimentary Phone Case Evaluation: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=17105687&appointmentType=18529428 Click here to watch the video: https://youtu.be/PzMmMyC0ens For more information: https://akivagoldman.com/michigan-laws/child-custody-laws ⬇️ Download Divorce & Custody Survival Guide.
