Sole Legal Custody: A legal designation granting only one parent the unilateral authority to make major, long-term decisions on behalf of the children, including education, healthcare, and welfare.
Joint Legal Custody: An arrangement where both parents share the right and responsibility to consult with one another and mutually agree upon major decisions affecting the children's lives.
Established Custodial Environment (ECE): A legal standard evaluating which parent has historically provided a stable, consistent environment where the children look to them for guidance, discipline, and necessities.
Parenting Time: The court-approved schedule detailing when the non-custodial parent is permitted to spend time with the children.
Personal Protection Order (PPO): A legally binding court order restraining an individual from engaging in specific conduct, such as contacting, following, or harassing the petitioner.
Supervised Parenting Time: A restrictive visitation arrangement requiring a third party to be present to monitor interactions between a parent and child to ensure safety.
Exclusive Use: A judicial award granting one spouse the temporary, sole right to occupy and possess marital property (such as the marital home) to the exclusion of the other spouse.
Domestic Relations Investigation (Friend of the Court): A formal court-directed inquiry where a neutral investigator evaluates the family's living conditions, conducts interviews, and submits recommendations on custody and parenting time.
Status Quo: The existing state of affairs or current living arrangements of the children prior to judicial intervention, which courts often seek to preserve on a temporary basis.
Proposed Order: A draft document prepared by a litigant outlining the judge’s oral rulings, submitted for judicial review and signature to become an enforceable court order.
