  • Title: Joint custody: preliminary impressions.
    Author: Awad GA.
    Journal: Can J Psychiatry; 1983 Feb; 28(1):41-4. PubMed ID: 6839267.
    Abstract:
    Joint custody is currently a popular and debatable issue. It is felt that some of the controversy is due to the lack of agreement on a definition. Following some examples of the differences in personal and judicial definitions of joint custody, a classification of custody is offered. Four types of custody arrangements are described: Absolute Sole Custody, Sole Custody, Non-Alternating Joint Custody (disputed and undisputed) and Alternating Joint Custody (disputed and undisputed). A critical review of the literature follows. Finally, clinical impressions about the two types of joint custody are discussed.
