Legal custody in Bucks County requires each parent to keep the other fully informed of all information concerning their child/children. This includes, but it not limited to, advanced information on appointments with teachers or other caregivers concerning the child/children. Each party is to have the ability to receive copies of any report given to either parent.
Legal custody requires that both parents are able to participate in medical or psychological treatment for their child/children and receive these reports including medical, psychological, mental health records, school records and others. This also includes advance notice of practices and games for extracurricular and school activities.
Finally, legal custody is usually shared jointly by both parents, although it may be negotiated different by a Bucks County divorce lawyer. But, normally, both parents must have equal input to the development of their child/children through legal custody.
