Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

Each parent has exactly as much right with respect to legal and physical custody of the subject child as the other (as well as equal obligations and responsibilities).

The physical custody side of joint legal and physical custody usually involves alternating weekends, maybe an evening during the week, a couple of weeks during the summer, and sharing in some way of the winter and spring school breaks, as well as other holidays. Most often this is agreed to in writing to avoid confusion.
