Navigating child custody can be one of the most emotional and challenging experiences for any family. From parents to children, and even extended family members, the process can feel overwhelming. But you don’t have to go through it alone. With the right support and guidance, you can create a stable and loving environment for your child, even during such a tough transition. ?? Understand the basics about child custody in NC: ??? Legal Custody: This gives a parent the right to make major decisions for their child, like education and healthcare. In NC, this can be sole or joint, depending on what’s best for the child. ?? Physical Custody: Refers to where the child lives. This can also be joint or sole, meaning the child either splits time between both parents or lives primarily with one. ?? Joint Custody: Both legal and physical custody can be shared, but the arrangement will always focus on the child's best interest—whether that's equal time or something more flexible. At New Direction Family Law, we know how important your children are. Let us guide you through this difficult time and work towards a solution that puts their well-being first.
