Joint custody is a form of child custody pursuant to which custody rights are awarded to both parents.[1][2] Joint custody has two main forms:[3]




  • joint physical custody: the child's legal place of residence is recognized as the homes of both parents.


  • joint legal custody: both parents share decision-making rights for important decisions affecting their child; and


In joint custody both parents are custodial parents and neither parent is a non-custodial parent, or, in other words, the child has two custodial parents.[2]

History of joint custody


In England, prior to the nineteenth century, common law considered children to be the property of their father.[4][5] However, the economic and social changes that occurred during the nineteenth century led to a shift in ideas about the dynamics of the family.[4]Industrialization separated the home and the workplace, keeping fathers away from their children in order to earn wages and provide for their family.[4] Conversely, mothers were expected to stay in the home and care for the household and the children.[4] Important social changes such as women's suffrage and child development theories allowed for ideas surrounding the importance of maternal care.[4]



Japan


Joint custody is not legally recognized in Japan.[6] Japanese courts favor granting custody to a primary caregiver,[7] and nearly always award custody to the parent who is in possession of the children, even in the aftermath of parental kidnapping.[8] Many Japanese parents believe that recognition of joint custody rights will reduce the problem of parental kidnapping and improve parent-child relationships following a custody case.[8]



United States


Main article: Joint custody (United States)

In the United States, many states recognize two forms of joint custody, which include joint physical custody and joint legal custody.[2]


In joint physical custody, the child's legal residence is with both parents.[9] As with other custody cases, the custody court issues a parenting time schedule that defines the time the parent will spend with each child.[10] Joint physical custody does not necessarily result in an equal division of parenting time.[3]


In joint legal custody, both parents share decision-making rights with regard to matters that may have a significant impact on their children's lives, such as where a child should attend school, the choice of a primary care physician or therapist for the child, and non-emergency medical treatment.[11] Both parents also have the ability right access to their children's records, such as educational records, health records, and other records.[12]
