This episode talks about a fairly recent trend on the part of some states to drop the terms of legal and physical custody in favor of parenting time and allocation of parental responsibilities.  One perspective is that these terms are more friendly to litigants in family law matters and can help lead to the resolution of family law disputes.  This episodes talks about this trend.  It is interesting as well that even in Missouri and Illinois, both states have different approaches.  This episode is based on an article of Family Law Headquarters titled: Parenting time versus custody.  If you need help with a child custody case, you can contact us at 1-855-805-0595 in Missouri or Illinois.
