Abstract:
Types of child custody awards made in 884 divorce cases in a rural North Carolina County were compared and rates of postdivorce litigation were examined for each type of custody. Findings suggest a low frequency of joint custody awards and do not reveal any advantage of joint versus other forms of custody with regard to relitigation experience.
