Understanding Child Custody Calculations in Massachusetts
Understanding Child Custody Calculations in Massachusetts
In Massachusetts, there are two types of child custody – legal custody and physical custody. Legal custody refers to the right to make important decisions regarding the child's upbringing, such as education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. Physical custody refers to where the child will reside on a day-to-day basis. When determining child custody arrangements, the court considers various factors such as the relationship between the child and each parent, the ability of each parent to provide for the child's needs, any history of abuse or neglect, and the preferences of the child (if they are old enough to express their wishes).
In addition to legal and physical custody, there is also joint custody where both parents share decision-making responsibilities for the child. Joint physical custody may also be awarded if it is deemed to be in the best interests of the child. Child support is also an important factor in determining child custody arrangements in Massachusetts. The non-custodial parent may be required to pay child support to help cover expenses related to raising the child.
