- Legal Custody - This is the right to make major decisions about the child's life. Courts typically order the parents to share legal custody.
- Physical Custody - The parent that has physical custody has the right to control the everyday details of the child's upbringing, including resolving any disciplinary issues.
- Primary Custody and Visitation - This is one of the most common arrangements. The child spends a majority of school nights with one parent, while the other parent has custody on some weekends and holidays.

- Sole Physical Custody - If the judge believes that one parent is a threat to the child's safety, the other parent may receive sole custody.
