My lawyer asked me if I want legal custody or child custody of my children. I didnt know what to say as I really dont know the difference between the two. Can you please give me some idea on these terms of custody, please.

Default Re: Legal Child Custody
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.

Default Child Custody.
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.
