Physical custody means a child's residence.
Joint legal custody means that both parents have equal rights and responsibility for participating in major decisions regarding a child's upbringing. The law presumes that except in cases in which there has been domestic abuse, joint legal custody is in the best interest of the child when either party requests it. The court is not permitted to consider the conduct of a parent which does not affect the child-parent relationship and cannot prefer one parent solely on the basis of his or her sex. The court may restrict or deny visitation as circumstances warrant. A parent's failure to pay child support is not sufficient cause for denial of visitation.
