What is the best state to do joint custody?
I think the law requires that you do joint custody in the state in which you are residing. You reside in the state where you are domiciled, meaning you have the subjective intent to remain there. I don’t think you can just pick and choose what state you can do joint custody.
With that being said, if you’re moving states, please keep in mind that joint custody is a complex part of family law. Generally speaking, the states that are the most favorable to joint custody are those that promote a relationship between both parents and the child, and that work to protect the rights of both parents and the child. I believe all states will want to do this.
I know that some states require a period of mediation or a parenting plan before joint custody is granted, and other states may have a preference for joint custody over sole custody. Additionally, some states require a court order for joint custody, while others may allow for an informal agreement between the parents. Knowing the relevant state laws and regulations can help determine the best state to do joint custody in if you’re moving.
It is also important to consider the needs of the family when determining the best state to do joint custody. Some states may provide more flexibility in the types of joint custody arrangements they allow, such as bird’s nest custody, and other states may have a more traditional approach. Additionally, some states may be better at enforcing the terms of the joint custody agreement.
