Shared Custody vs. Joint Custody

If both parents agree on shared custody, the next question should be: “How does this arrangement benefit our child?”

Kids-Plus! benefits the child by asking these questions of both parents.

If he is very young, making an agreement to move him from one parent’s home to the other several times each week is too disruptive.

If your child moves from one house to the other without a enough time to adjust and find a consistent rhythms, he may begin to feel unsafe and emotionally unstable.

It is important to establish consistent routines in each home because children need structure.

Longer periods of time spent with each parent may be preferable so one week on and one week off may be a better arrangement.
