Custody Decision-making

Custody Decision-Making is a legal and psychological construct that refers to the formal process by which judicial or evaluative authorities allocate parental responsibilities and determine the living arrangements, rights, and obligations pertaining to the care and upbringing of a child following family dissolution, distinguishing it from mere visitation scheduling or temporary custody arrangements through its focus on long-term, substantively binding authority and responsibility.
