Exclusive Custody

It is possible to request exclusive custody of minor children to the mother or father from the judge only in the presence of specific reasons.

In the case of exclusive custody, both parents retain parental responsibility for the children, but this responsibility is largely exercised by the custodial parent, whether it's the mother or the father.

This type of custody can also apply to cases of children of unmarried parents.

Decisions of major importance – related to education, instruction, and the health of the children – will still be made jointly by the parents.

This circumstance changes in the case of the so-called super-exclusive custody.
