domiciliary parent?

Question

joint custody

Answer 1

"Domiciliary parent? Joint custody."

The quick answer to your question is "It's 'the parent with whom a child lives.' It's just another way of saying the parent who has primary physical custody-- but much shorter."

Generally, the joint custody relationship provides each parent with equal input into the health, education and religious upbringing of a child-- where disagreements are often addressed in mediation or ultimately by the Court. Both parents are entitled to get copies of report cards, have access to medical records, decide what religion the children should practice, etc.

The non-custodial parent (or the non-domiciliary parent) is given visitation while the domiciliary parent has physical custody at all other times. It is not precisely true to say "he cannot bring the child across state lines, cut her hair, take her out of the parish" or the like, unless those things are specified in your Joint Parenting Agreement or similar papers from your granted divorce. The non-custodial parent who exercises visitation under a joint parenting relationship generally has the same rights as the domiciliary parent during that time. So, what's good for the goose....

Joint custody arrangements between parents who are not cooperative are more burdensome than they are worth. So, if you and your ex can't decide on where to meet to exchange custody or who was to blame for the divorce, then you might want to reconsider the joint custody thing....

Answer 3

domicillary custody is when you share joint custody and the child lives with the parent who has been granted domicillary custody . which means that parent has more say over the well being of the child/children. this is what i have and when the father has visitation, he cannot bring the child across state lines, cut her hair, take her out of the parish, do u get the picture. equal custody is when you both share the same amount of rights to the child.
