The family court judges in Rhode Island consider the child’s best interests in determining child custody in Rhode Island.
Child custody and visitation are the two main issues in any divorce case and the courts can offer either physical or legal custody in the form of sole or joint custody.
Legal custody:
It can be either sole legal custody or joint legal custody, where the custodian involved will have a right to make some crucial decisions regarding the childlike education, health, and religious beliefs.
Physical custody:
On the other hand, it is simply to provide placement for the child, and it again can be in the form of split or shared physical custody.
