Legal custodyLegal custody deals with the rights and responsibilities of a parent to make the decisions relating to the health, education, and welfare of the child. Sole legal custody is where one parent is the only one to have the right to make those decisions.
Where the court has granted joint legal custody, either parent, acting alone, may make decisions regarding the health, education, and welfare of the child, unless the court orders that such decision-making be unanimous.
