I’m going into my first divorce (hopefully my last) and the terms a little confusing. For those of you who have been through it already, what do visitation and custody really mean? Do people sometimes use these two terms interchangeably? I think that’s what confuses me most.

There are two types of custody; physical and legal.

Physical custody can by either sole or joint. Sole physical custody means that one parent has primary custody of the child (children) and the other has visitation. Visitation can be liberal where in a more amicable divorce, the parents don’t have predefined visitation days and the non-custodial parent sees the children whenever.

Joint physical custody would be a situation in which you share an equal amount of time with the kids. I can only see this working if you live relatively close to each other so that it’s not disruptive to their attending school.

Legal custody can be either sole or joint. Sole legal custody means that the parent with physical custody is the only person that can make decisions in which the children are raised whereas joint legal custody means that both parents have an equal say in how the kids are raised.

When I was divorced, my wife got sole physical custody, we both had joint legal custody and my visitation rights were defined as liberal, meaning that there were no specific days or times in which I saw my sons. They basically stayed with me on the weekends but if their mom wanted to take them somewhere over a weekend, we worked it out in advance. I also took them on vacations during the week when they were on summer vacation.

Although there were a lot of hurt feelings in the beginning, we never used our kids as a way to get back at one another for anything. I hope that is what happens for you as well.

First off you have to file in the county that the CHILD lives in.

Then you go to the court house and file a motion for custody, and include a copy of the child support calculator with your information filled out.

If you are a man you may need to also file for paternity, so the court will recognize you as the legal father of the child. Until that happens you can’t get visitation, or be ordered to pay child support,

In preparation for Barack Obama’s annual FATHERS DAY speech where he annually demeans good, fit, willing fathers all across America. This is the first in a series of videos where on Fathers Day 2010 we will expose the criminal acts of our federal government and Obama’s full knowledge of these criminal acts against our children, our fathers and society as a whole.

does getting visitation mean having rights to see the child, but not have the child/baby live with the parent with visitation?

A lawyer predicted I would get a minimum of 60/40 up to 80/20. What are the differences?

Visitation means that you get to spend time with the child, but that the child does not live with you permanently. You can, however, have the child stay overnight in most cases. With 80/20 you would, say, get the child on weekends. With 60/40, the child would live with you almost half the time. You might get three days a week, for example, while the child gets the other four days with the other parent.
