joint custody means both parents have custody of the children and all decisions concerning the children have to be a joint decision... including trips out of the state. I have not heard of access... I am thinkgin access is giving the non custodail parent visitation rights. Research the Laws for your state.

How do courts determine when to award joint custody?

There is a great degree of variation among states. Joint legal custody is routine in some states, but joint physical custody is not, and the factors considered by the court for joint physical custody vary significantly among states. Anyone considering joint custody should contact a local attorney regarding this question. About 90% of divorce cases are settled out of court, though, and most joint custody is established this way. Judges will rarely change an arrangement that has been established by the parents. The legal status of joint custody may eventually change. Supreme Court decisions have found parental rights to be guaranteed by the Constitution. Because a fundamental right cannot be denied without a compelling state interest that cannot be achieved by any less restrictive means, some legal scholars believe that, in the absence of abuse or neglect, parents have a right to both legal and physical joint custody (Canackos, 1981; Robinson, 1985). This theory has not been tested in court. [This answer was excerpted from "Questions and s About Joint Custody" by Rick Kuhn.] References: Canacakos, Ellen. "Joint Custody as a Fundamental Right", Arizona Law Review, Vol. 23, 1981. Robinson, Holly. "Joint Custody: Constitutional Imperatives", University of Cincinnati Law Review, 1985.


What is the difference of Parental or custodial rights?

A guardian must be appointed by the court pursuant to a petition for guardianship and has the legal authority to care for another individual's person and/or property. In the case of minors, a guardian is someone other than a parent. In the case of an adult, a parent can be appointed as their guardian.Custody, in this sense, refers to the care and control of a child awarded by the court usually to one or both parents. The parent who is awarded custody of a child is not referred to as their guardian.

Is a parent with joint custody the same as a custodial parent?

Joint custody is a form of legal custody. Sole Custody: One parent has full custody and control while the other may have minimum limited access. Joint Legal Custody: Similar to Sole Custody, but with a little more access right, as well as the right to be consulted in matters regarding the child, but as a working model, really has little difference. Joint Physical Custody: The parents are the children equally in all matters, including decision making. Bird Nest Custody: Similar to Joint Physical, except the children remain in the home and each parent lives there for a designated period of time, than switch.
