Physical placement is the condition under which a party has the right to have a child physically placed with that party and has the right and responsibility to make, during that placement, routine daily decisions regarding the child's care. Physical placement is generally defined as where the child is living on a day-to-day basis.
Legal custody is the right and responsibility to make major decisions concerning the child. Such major decision include, but are not limited to, where the children attend school, major medical decisions, and choice of religion. |

| Enforcement of Physical Placement |
| Posted By Graham P. Wiemer |

This parent is referred to as the Petitioner in this context, regardless of whether that parent was referred to as the Petitioner or Respondent in the original action.
Enforcement of Physical Placement is necessary when one parent has had one or more periods of placement denied or substantially interfered with by the other parent. |

| Posted By Christopher J. MacGillis |
|
After you file and serve the summons and petition for divorce on your spouse, parties have to wait at least another 120 days. While by law, a person may be divorced after 120 days, generally, it takes longer than 120 days to complete a divorce. Until both parties agree on all issues, or have a trial where the judge rules on each issue, parties cannot be divorced.
