Every family law attorney has handled child custody cases in family court, because family law is practiced in family courts.
A family court will usually award parental rights to one parent if the parents are not married or in a civil union. This is known as sole custody where the child lives with one parent and visits the other parent on certain days.
A family court may also award parental rights to both parents, known as joint custody, where the child lives with each parent for a certain amount of time. Family courts generally order shared custody when the family is able to cooperate with each other.
