Types of Physical Custody

Choosing the right physical custody arrangement for your child can be challenging. The Law Offices of McGuire & Bullard is ready to assist you.

  • Sole Physical Custody

    In sole physical custody, the child lives primarily with one parent, who is responsible for the child's daily care. The other parent typically has visitation rights, which can vary in frequency and duration.

  • Joint Physical Custody

    Joint physical custody involves the child spending significant amounts of time with both parents, often dividing time equally or nearly equally between both households.

  • Split Physical Custody

    Split physical custody, though less common, involves each parent having physical custody of different children from the same family. This arrangement is typically only used when siblings have specific needs or preferences.


  • Bird’s Nest Custody

    In bird’s nest custody, the child remains in a single home, while the parents take turns living in the home with the child. This arrangement minimizes disruption for the child but requires high cooperation between parents.

  • Extended Family Involvement

    In some cases, extended family members may play a significant role in the child’s physical custody arrangement, especially if the parents are unable to care for the child full-time.


Legal Steps in Physical Custody Cases

Handling physical custody arrangements requires deep knowledge of Georgia family law and local court procedures. The Law Offices of McGuire & Bullard offers the expertise you need during this crucial time. We can help you through all the legal steps:

  1. Filing for Custody: To obtain physical custody, you must file a petition with the court, detailing your request and providing evidence to support your case. This involves completing legal paperwork and meeting court requirements.
  2. Attending Court Hearings: Court hearings will be scheduled to evaluate the custody request, during which you will present your case, and the court will consider factors such as the child’s best interests, living arrangements, and each parent’s ability to care for the child.
  3. Developing a Parenting Plan: A detailed parenting plan outlines the physical custody arrangement, including visitation schedules, transportation arrangements, and how decisions about the child will be made.
  4. Legal Representation: Having experienced legal representation is crucial for navigating the complexities of physical custody and ensuring that your rights and interests, as well as those of your child, are protected.
  5. Compliance with Court Orders: Once a physical custody arrangement is established, both parents must comply with court orders and adhere to the terms of the custody agreement
