Divorce is stressful for all concerned parties. When there are children from the marriage, the stakes are higher. Both spouses must decide whether they will share custody of the children equally, or whether one parent will be the primary custodial parent. “Custody” includes physical custody – the right to have a child live with you and legal custody – the right to make decisions about the child’s welfare and education
If you do not have physical custody of the children, you will generally be given visitation rights. If one parent has both legal and physical custody and the other has fairly limited visitation, the primary custodial parent has “sole custody.” If both spouses share physical custody, legal custody, or both it is referred to as joint custody.
A “marital settlement agreement” is an agreement that details the agreements the spouses have made about how they want to divide their property and debts, what the custody arrangements for their children will be, and whether support payments will change hands. The settlement, and the final divorce, will have to be approved by a judge, which shouldn’t be any problem. The judge will usually approve a settlement agreement unless it’s clear that the terms are completely unfair to one person or were arranged when one person was under duress.
