When parents choose to dissolve their marriage, a vital issue that the court must resolve is deciding the living arrangements for the children and the visitation rights each parent will have under particular conditions. At times, parents can voluntarily arrive at an agreement with the aid of their legal counsel or a mediator. However, if a consensus cannot be achieved, the court will step in and make a decision based on what is in the best interests of the child.

Child custody is generally divided into two main types: "legal custody" and "physical custody." Legal custody refers to the authority to make significant decisions for the child, including matters related to healthcare and education. This can be awarded either jointly to both parents or exclusively to one parent. On the other hand, "physical custody" concerns the child's living arrangements. The court has the option to assign "sole physical custody" to one parent or "joint physical custody" to both parents, with the visitation timetable being set according to different factors.

In making custody decisions, the court weighs multiple factors that align with the best interests of the children. The parent who has primarily been responsible for the children's care frequently has considerable sway in the court's judgment. Moreover, if the children are of an age deemed suitable to articulate their own desires, the court may take those preferences into account.
