Focus on Fathers provides support to help fathers gain and navigate four specific types of custody.

• Legal custody: the right to make important decisions about the child's upbringing, including their education, medical care, and religion.
• Physical custody: the right of a parent to have the child live with them.
• Joint custody: an arrangement in which both parents share legal custody, physical custody or both.
• Sole custody: an arrangement in which one parent has both legal and physical custody of the child.
