In this episode, Jaime's talking with Melissa Essick, a fellow family law attorney and mediator, about legal custody in divorce with children. The discussion includes the differences between sole legal custody and joint legal custody, what information parents are entitled to about their children and what decisions typically need joint agreement between parents, such as medical appointments, mental health decisions, competitive sports, and school choice. They also warn against playing games and not involving the other parent in decision-making. Tune in to find out how to navigate custody concerns and differences in opinion.

While the information presented is intended to provide you with general information to navigate divorce without destruction, this podcast is not legal advice.
