Joint Physical Custody: Smart Solution or Problematic Plan?
by Roz Zinner, LCSW-C
Q. My husband and I are separated, and he has our kids at his apartment every other weekend. Just when things seemed a little less crazy, he announced he wanted joint custody. What should I do?
A. Don't panic. First, find out whether he wants to share legal custody or physical custody. In either case, it could be a positive move. Whether it works for you and your children depends on several factors we'll describe.
What's the difference between legal and physical custody?
