Sole custody is a child custody arrangement whereby only one parent has physical custody while either one or both parents may have legal custody of the child.[1][2] Sole custody has been the traditional form of child custody after divorce; however, there has been a trend since the 1980s towards joint physical custody with shared parenting, as research has shown that such arrangements are more favorable to the physical, mental and social well-being of children.[1][3][4][5][6]
Other forms of custody
- Alternating custody is an arrangement whereby the child/children live for an extended period of time with one parent, and then for a similar amount of time with the other parent. While the child/children are with the parent, that parent retains sole authority over the child/children.
- Bird's nest custody is an arrangement whereby the parents go back and forth from a residence in which the child/children reside, placing the burden of upheaval and movement on the parents rather than the child/children.
- Joint physical custody is an arrangement whereby the child lives approximately equal time with both parents.
- Split custody is an arrangement whereby one parent has full-time custody over some children, and the other parent has full custody over the other children.
- Third-party custody is an arrangement in whereby the children do not remain with either biological parent, and are placed under the custody of a third person.
