Many people are confused by two major concepts involved in child custody cases: the difference between physical custody and legal custody. Here are the differences:
- Physical custody: Physical custody dictates where children will live on given days. In many cases, one parent has primary custody, and the other has secondary custody. Parents with joint custody have equal time with their children.
- Legal custody: This refers to an agreement on the rights to decide on a child's behalf. Typically, legal custody is related to decisions regarding education, healthcare, and religious upbringing. In most cases, parents share legal custody.
The Hobson & Hobson family law team will help you achieve a fair custody arrangement. We will help develop a parenting plan that is beneficial for your family.
One of the most difficult child custody issues to manage following a divorce is when a parent moves to another state. The parent might have to move for a job or for another reason. If this happens, Hobson & Hobson is skilled in modifying child custody arrangements to work best for everyone involved.
There are some circumstances in which one parent disparages the other to their children. This might lead to parental alienation, meaning that one parent distorts a child's view of the other parent. The family law attorneys at Hobson & Hobson have vast experience in finding remedies for parental alienation.

Mr. Hobson handled my case in a professional manner. I feel that my case was somewhat complicated and he was able to give me viable options and get the case closed quickly with the least amount of stress. Since my divorce I have retained Mr Hobson to represent me regarding issues that have arisen with my ex-husband. If in the future I have any legal needs I will definitely call Mr. Hobson again.
