Full custody, also known as sole custody, grants one parent exclusive rights and responsibilities for making decisions about the child's welfare and primary physical custody. This means that the custodial parent has the authority to make important decisions regarding the child's education, healthcare, religious upbringing, and other aspects of their life. The non-custodial parent may still have visitation rights, but they do not have the same level of control or decision-making power as the custodial parent. Joint custody, on the other hand, allows both parents to share responsibilities and participate in decision-making regarding their child's care and upbringing. Joint custody can be split into joint physical custody, joint legal custody, or a combination of both, depending on the specific arrangements agreed upon or ordered by the court.
