Joint custody is a form of legal custody.
Sole Custody: One parent has full custody and control while the other may have minimum limited access.
Joint Legal Custody: Similar to Sole Custody, but with a little more access right, as well as the right to be consulted in matters regarding the child, but as a working model, really has little difference.
Joint Physical Custody: The parents are the children equally in all matters, including decision making.
Bird Nest Custody: Similar to Joint Physical, except the children remain in the home and each parent lives there for a designated period of time, than switch.

∙ 13y agoParents with joint custody share all rights and responsibilities when it comes to the children of the marriage. They must make major decisions (i.e. medical, education, etc.) concerning the child. This requires a great deal of cooperation between the parents but has been found to be the best situations for the raising of children.

If non custodial parent have partial custody do they have to pay child support?
Read your support order. You can't usually be joint custody and non-custodial at the same time.

Do you have to give up custody of your child if your child transfers school?
Well, this is actually a little complicated to answer since the question is a little to vague. So let me see if I can break this down: Let's talk about the long shot scenario: You are the custodial parent and you want your child to attend school in the same school district as the non-custodial parent; you are now going to have your child move in with the non-custodial parent so they can attend said school. So, the answer would be yes, you will have to give up primary custody of your child in order for them to live in the non-custodial parents home. This is what could happen: a. Adjust custody order to reflect joint custody; have visitation rights. Just understand that whoever has more "nights" with the child each year will be considered the custodial parent. As a non-custodial parent, you could be obligated to pay child support. b. Adjust custody order to reflect that non-custodial parent will have primary custody of your child. They will now be the custodial parent and you, as a non-custodial parent, may be obligated to provide child support. Easy scenario: You just want to move to a new school district, and as the custodial parent your child naturally moves with you. Then, no, you do not have to give up custody of your child. What you must do is provide the non-custodial parent with your change of address as well as a new home phone number if it changes.

Can a minor leave one parent to live with the other parent if the courts have not awarded custody to this parent?
The parent without a custody order? If so, no, not without a court order to the contrary. If no custody order is in place, it depends on prevailing state law (or country if outside the USA) who has presumed custody, if joint custody is assumed in the absence of a court order, or other such specifications and based on the same, whether the custodial parent's permission, both parents' permissions and/or order of the court is required. At any rate, a minor may not make such a decision of their own volition....not in the United States anyway.

That's up to the judge, but generally is only applicable when a father gets custody while owing, as only 7 out of 1000 mothers pay support to custodial fathers.
What rights does a parent with sole custody have?
There are different types of custody: sole physical custody, where the child resides primarily with one parent but the non-custodial parent is typically awarded visitation rights, and sole legal custody, where one parent makes decisions in the child's life pertinent to their welfare. So, rights are delineated dependent upon the same.
