English term (edited):
sole custody und maintenance (in this context)
(alleiniges) Sorgerecht
Not to confuse you, but if a German parent receive "sole custody and maintenance" of the child after seperation/divorce, this person has the socalled "alleiniges Sorgerecht". The child lives with this parent, who is responsible for the child's well-being, nurishment, clothing, etc. (maintenance).
The other parent is (usually) granted the right to have the child come to visit, i.e. visitation rights = Umgangsrecht (sometimes called "Besuchsrecht"). This parent is usually required to pay child support (Kindesunterhalt) to the parent with the "Sorgerecht", because both parent have to share of the costs of the child's "maintenance".
The term "sole" = "alleinig" denotes the fact that the "Sorgerecht" is exercised by one parent only - it is also possible to imagine a situation in which both parents have the "Sorgerecht" (like when they were married...); this would be called "joint custody and maintenance.

: Hi Derek, confusing indeed :) Question here is - do the terms custody and maintenance belong together or is it alleiniges Sorgerecht und Kindesunterhalt?

The parent with the "Sorgerecht" has the right to claim the child support in the name of the child from the parent obliged to pay Unterhalt. The term Sorgerecht contains the obligation of the parent to "maintain" the child; I see no need for more. ;-)
