Joint physical care

Joint physical care

Joint Physical Care is when both parents share physical placement of the children. Simply defined, joint physical care allows the child(ren) to live with each parent 50% of the time during the year. Parenting plans are established to determine when each parent has the children living with them. The most frequent joint physical care plan is one week at moms, the next week at dads, and holidays are usually alternated. Most states allow parents to determine what parenting schedule best meets the needs of their children.
