hi,
I can tell you what legal custody means as I have just got legal custody of my children. As per the law, legal custody means the name given to the legal relationship a parent shares with a child and in whose custody the child is. Legal custody gives an identity to the child to be recognised as the children of either parent in the society or community. Last edited by genie : 12-06-2005 at 04:48 PM. |

hi,
On the other hand ,child custody actually means that a particular parent has got the custody of the child and in whose hands all the responsibilities of the child lie. The other parent gets visitation rights only and is in no way responsible for the upbringing and decision making for the child. Last edited by genie : 12-06-2005 at 04:51 PM. |
