Child Custody

Child custody law in North Carolina refers to the custody of a minor, who has not attained 18 years of age, or who suffers certain medical or mental handicaps. Legal custody, physical custody, or visitation rights assigned by the court may be either permanent, temporary, or initial. There also may be a modification order, which would change any of the above. Child custody is a separate legal issue from that of child support or monetary obligation orders.
