{"id":112,"count":1,"description":"<strong>Sole custody<\/strong> is a child custody arrangement in which one parent has full legal and physical custody of the children. This means that the children primarily live with one parent, and that parent is responsible for making all major decisions related to the children's upbringing.\r\n\r\nIn a this arrangement, the parent with sole custody has the authority to make decisions about the children's education, medical care, religious upbringing, and other important aspects of their lives. The other parent may still have the right to visitation or parenting time, but they do not have a say in major decisions related to the children's welfare.\r\n\r\nSole custody is typically awarded by a judge when it is determined to be in the best interests of the children. This may be the case if one parent has a history of domestic violence, substance abuse, or other behaviors that could endanger the children. Sole custody may also be awarded if one parent is deemed unfit or unable to care for the children.\r\n\r\nWhile sole custody can provide stability and consistency for the children, it can also be a challenging arrangement for both parents. The non-custodial parent may feel excluded from important decisions related to the children's lives, and may struggle to maintain a strong relationship with their children. It is important for both parents to work together to create a parenting plan that allows for frequent and meaningful contact between the non-custodial parent and the children.\r\n\r\nIf you are considering sole custody, it is important to consult with an experienced family law attorney who can provide guidance and support throughout the process. A lawyer can help you understand your legal rights and obligations, and can work with you to create a parenting plan that meets the needs of your family.","link":"https:\/\/grishamandpoole.com\/blog\/tag\/sole-custody\/","name":"sole custody","slug":"sole-custody","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>sole custody Archives %<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sole custody in Georgia is a child custody arrangement in which one parent has full legal and physical custody of the children.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/grishamandpoole.com\/blog\/tag\/sole-custody\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"sole custody Archives %\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sole custody in Georgia is a child custody arrangement in which one parent has full legal and physical custody of the children.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/grishamandpoole.com\/blog\/tag\/sole-custody\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Grisham &amp;
