First of all, this is how I understand physical and legal custody. Physical is what I have, my court papers say that it is in the child's best interest for (my name) to have custody. My ex was NOT awarded a specific visitation, we were told to go by the Parenting Time Guidelines. Sole legal custody would be myself being responsible to make all the big decisions in my child's life, without the other parent's permission, or say. Is that correct? If not, please correct me. I also have another question, but I want to make sure this one is answered first. Thank you.
