Types of Custody
PHYSICAL CUSTODY
A physical custody stipulation or judgment determines what percentage of time the child will live with each parent. The percentage of time a child lives with each parent will depend on many factors such as:
- Where the child goes to school,
- How much each parent has to dedicate to the child, and
- Any other factors the court deems relevant to the determination.
There are two types of physical custody determinations the court can make:
- Joint: In this arrangement, the child will live with each parent. The court will use the criteria set forth above when determining the timeshare.
- Sole: In some instances, the court may decide to award sole physical custody to one parent

Types of Custody
LEGAL CUSTODY
Legal custody means the right to make major decisions about the child’s
- Education,
- Health,
- Religious upbringing, etc.
The two types of legal custody are:
- Joint: This arrangement allows for both parents to make decisions regarding the child’s life. A parent’s physical location is less relevant when determining legal custody, as decisions regarding a child’s welfare and education can be made from afar.
Sole Legal: Sole legal custody means that “one parent shall have the right and the responsibility to make the decisions relating to the health, education, and welfare of a child.”

We offer a unique Billing Pledge to all our Clients
We are mindful of every second of time we spend and the client’s desire to minimize fees while seeking expert legal service, so we only record the time necessary to achieve the client’s goal.
Two firm managers and our founder, review your legal bills before they go out to make sure they are accurate, fair and in line with your case. We make sure that you aren’t paying for anything you don’t need. We also split the time between the lawyers and paralegals so that lawyers do not do any work that the paralegals can do and therefore reduce the cost.
We believe great client service begins with fair and honest billing practices. Our firm provides exceptional service while minimizing expenses and protecting your assets. Wade Litigation will not allow these common pitfalls to affect us. We will do quality work efficiently, and we will give you a clear breakdown of the tasks and hours performed in your case.

What is a Retainer Deposit?
A retainer deposit is an advance of payment made by a client to an attorney and it is considered a down payment on the future services rendered by that professional.
The retainer deposit funds the initial expenses of the working relationship. Retainer deposits do not guarantee an outcome.
Portions of retainer deposits can be refunded if services end up costing less than originally planned.
For this reason, these types of deposits usually remain in a separate account from the hourly wages of your lawyer. This ensures that money is not used before the case has been are fully closed.
