Towson Child Custody Lawyer | Legal Custody.

Legal Custody in Baltimore & Towson.

When Child Custody comes before the Circuit Court For Baltimore County, the court determines two t: Legal Custody and Physical Custody. The court does not necessarily award Legal Custody and Physical Custody to the same parents. Legal Custody refers to the power to make s long-term decisions, such as:

  • The right to make long-term educational decisions, including choosing schools, extracurricular activities, IEP programs, and sports.
  • The right to make long-term health care decisions, including vaccinations, selecting the pediatrician and mental health counselors.
  • The right to make religious decisions, including religious affiliation, baptisms, and Sunday school enrollment.
  • The right to make disciplinary decisions, including resolving questions of corporal punishment.
