Divided Custody

Learn about the definition for this legal term.

What is Divided Custody?

A custody arrangement in which each parent has physical custody of at least one of their children. Shared custody of all of the children may still be applied in this custody model. This method is not favored as it is not popular to split the children up; therefore a supporting reason must be provided to the court in requesting this arrangement. Also known as Split Custody.
