Re: Full custody
I do not know from your question where you have heard the term "full custody". However, I can tell you generally that sole legal custody gives one parent the right to make all parenting decisions. Joint legal custody requires both parents to agree on all parenting decisions, and usually provides for mediation or arbitration of any issues upon which the parents can not agree. If you are not already represented by legal counsel I would be willing to provide a free telephone consultation. Please feel free to call me at 314-727-2822.
