Joint Custody is a commonly misconstrued concept. The common types of custodial arrangements include sole custody, joint custody, and split custody. Joint custody involves an agreement between parents as to how they intend to raise their children while living separate and apart and provides the non-residential parent with certain rights and decision making powers not provided in a sole custodial situation.
