FAQ: How does shared custody work?

Shared custody means that each parent gets to spend significant time with their child. However, shared custody is very flexible in terms of schedule arrangements. Some parents may adopt a week-on/week-off arrangement, a weekday/weekend arrangement, or may even adopt a school year/school break arrangement. In most shared custody arrangements, parents share both physical custody and legal custody. Thus, shared custody usually requires that the parents have an amicable relationship to make joint decisions for their children and handle the changes and emergencies that arise in every child’s life.

FAQ: If my child’s parent and I agree on custody matters, do I need a custody order?

Child custody is almost never a “set-it-and-forget-it” matter. Your life, your child’s parent’s life, and your child’s life will change over time, which may require you to change your custody arrangement. Moreover, if your custody arrangement is not set in a court order, your recourse is limited if your child’s other parent decides to deviate from your informal custody agreement.
