Best Answer

Joint custody means shared custody. In cases of joint custody in which the two parents do not live in the same location, the usual procedure is that the child will be shared by periodically moving him or her from one address to the other, at something like 6 month intervals. One parent could have the child from January to June, so the other gets the child from July to December. However, the two parents can devise any arrangement that they will both accept. Sometimes the child lives with one parent all the time, and the other parent comes over to visit. Perhaps one parent has a larger house than the other, so there is more room for the child. You can do whatever works for you, as long as the rights of both parents are respected.

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.
