Asked in Family Law and Child Custody for Alabama

Q: My husband and I share joint legal custody. I have physical custody. Can I give my child's father temporary custody.

We have reached an agreement about this between ourselves. My child would be moving to a different state. He only needs something to where he can enroll him in school
