About This Episode

Cordell & Cordell Executive/Managing Partner, CEO Scott Trout and Litigation Partner Tomekia Lee-Chaney define joint custody and explain how its meaning is commonly misunderstood.

Some assume that joint custody is the same as shared 50/50 custody, but while joint custody entails some level of shared parental responsibility, it is not always an equal arrangement.

Mr. Trout and Ms. Lee-Chaney explain the differences between the various types of custody arrangements and go through the most important things to keep in mind regarding joint custody.
