What is physical custody?
Physical custody means you take physical care of and supervise your child.1 A judge can give:
- sole physical custody, also called primary physical custody, to one parent; or
- joint physical custody to both parents.2
To learn when a judge will give each type of physical custody, see When will the judge give primary physical custody to one parent? and When will the judge give joint physical custody?
