Matthews, NC asked in Child Custody for North Carolina

Q: What rights and decisions can I make for my 13yr old son if his dad got full legal custody and I have physical custody?

Can my husband decide discipline and consequences in my home? Does he handle all school decisions or just which school he attends? Can I still take our son to my church?

A: Your best bet is to have an attorney review the actual custody order - there is a level of speculation involved when you can't see the order. With that said, you should have control over the day-to-day activities of your son while he is in your custody.
