Types of Child Custody in Tampa

Find Legal Counsel Now from a Tampa Child Custody Attorney

The types of child custody may vary from state to state, and specific child custody agreements are virtually limitless because every situation is different, and thus every decision will be different in some form or fashion. In every case, however, a primary custodian will be assigned, and visitation rights will be outlined after the court examines all available information in order to make the best possible decision, based upon the best interest of the children involved. An experienced Tampa child custody lawyer from the Law Offices of Manuel Fajardo can help to build a case for you or against your spouse in an effort to resolve the issue of child custody favorably.

While there are many specifics outlined in child custody agreements throughout the state, Florida law categorizes all into two distinct types of custody. The first is parental responsibility, and this gives the parent the legal right to make decisions for the child. These decisions may include issues specific to education, healthcare, extra-curricular activities, religion and many others. While this type of child custody assigns legal responsibility to one parent, it is still assumed that both parents should play an active role in making decisions for their children. Primary residence is the other aspect of child custody, and legally identified where the child will live. It is still expected, however, that some level of child visitation would be arranged so that both parents are able to spend quality time with their children and be engaged in their upbringing .
