Types of Child Custody
Arkansas recognizes two types of child custody:
- Legal custody refers to the right to make decisions regarding certain aspects of your child's life, such as schooling, health care, and religious upbringing.
- Physical custody refers to the right to have your child live with you.
There are a number of different custody arrangements that can be ordered by the court, including:
- Joint custody – This type of custody arrangement means that both parents will share decision-making authority on matters such as schooling and medical care.
- Sole custody – This type of custody arrangement means that one parent will have sole decision-making authority.
- Split custody – This type of custody arrangement means that both parents will have their children a certain amount of time.
- Unilateral custody – This type of custody arrangement means that the decision-making authority lies with only one parent.

I am so thankful that attorneys like Shea Crosby exist! Admittedly, I didn't know what I needed or wanted prior to my initial consultation with Shea. I had met or spoke with several other lawyers before meeting her. Each and every time I left feeling defeated, insignificant, or like a dollar sign. Shea was the first attorney to listen to me thoroughly, take me seriously, show compassion, and speak honestly with me about my case. Her level of professionalism continued throughout the entirety of my case, which lasted just shy of ten months. Shea was always easily accessible through text, email, and phone calls. She fought for me, and my family, and she believed in me, even at times when others didn't. At the end of the day, Shea helped me negotiate an agreement which provided me and my family the relief and protections we NEEDED, and WANTED. I am so very grateful for her. It's not often one is sad when their legal proceedings have ended (when they've "won"). But that is exactly how I felt. Shea was my advisor, advocate, and by time it was over, I also considered her a friend. Her real world experience made her not only relatable, but often times my confidant. I highly recommend Shea Crosby to anyone needing a family law attorney.

Martin Attorneys has helped me with several cases--medical malpractice and estate planning. And just recently Stephen Fisher helped my granddaughter with a very tough case. Because of him and the other attorneys, she won her case! I would recommend them to everyone I know.

I went to Martin Attorneys to file for bankruptcy and during my filing my car was repossessed, with their help I was able to get it back. Martin Attorneys know what they are doing and they know the law, I highly recommend Martin Attorneys should you need help.

I had a case earlier last month. Stephen was wonderful! He was able to support me properly and efficiently. He also did a fantastic job at coaching me through some of the possible situations I would face in the courtroom leaving me feeling confident. Stephen obviously knows what he is doing. I highly recommend him to anyone in the future.
