Physical custody refers to where a child lives. Legal custody means one or both parents’ decision-making authority. The term “visitation rights” describes parenting time for a parent who does not have primary physical custody ̶ ideally on a regularly scheduled basis. Depending on family circumstances and the agreement between the parents (or a court order), the nonprimary custodial parents may travel for visitation with the child or the child may travel according to schedule to spend time with that parent. If a nonprimary custodial parent has an addiction problem or other concerning impediments, a court may order supervised visitation with that parent.
