Sole custody arrangements have been generally considered a traditional form of custody for many in the past; however, there has been a trend since the 1980s towards the notion that joint custody arrangements are more favorable than sole custody arrangements. Sole custody consists of an arrangement whereby only one parent has physical and legal custody of a child.
