Yes. It is possible for joint custody to be awarded under such circumstances. Two of the biggest factors would be the age of the child or children and the viability of the parenting plan submitted to the court that outlines the arrangements for the transportation of the child or children between the custodial parents.

If you have joint custody can your teenager live with either parent?
The guidelines are basically the same in every state but obviously there are a few minor differences. Joint custody consists of Primary Custody & Secondary Custody. The parent with primary custody is who the child lives with & the other parent has secondary custody. Depending on the age of the child & the state in which they reside, the court may let them determine where they choose to live. Or if both parents agree on the child's decision then the child can live with either parent.

He may be. It will be determined by a court if he decides to take it up with the state. If you have custody, was there a stipulation regarding child support?
