How Is Child Custody Determined in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts courts make child custody decisions based on what they believe to be the child's best interests. They will consider a wide range of factors when making a determination, including the child's relationship with each parent, the child's age and health, the parents' ability to provide for the child's needs, and more.

There are two main types of child custody in Massachusetts: legal custody and physical custody.

Legal custody refers to the authority to make important decisions on behalf of the child, such as those related to education, healthcare, religion, and more. Physical custody refers to where the child lives and how much time they spend with each parent.

There are several different child custody arrangements in Massachusetts, including:

• Sole legal custody
• Joint legal custody
• Sole physical custody
• Joint physical custody

Sole custody arrangements are relatively rare in Massachusetts, as the courts generally believe that children benefit from maintaining relationships with both parents. Most custody arrangements involve some form of joint custody, whether it is joint legal custody, joint physical custody, or both.
