Manhattan child custody attorney Martin Mohr (https://www.newyorkfamilylawgroup.com/blog/what-are-the-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-joint-custody/) of New York Family Law Group has released an informative article titled 'What Are The Advantages (And Disadvantages) Of Joint Custody?’ The article provides a comprehensive understanding of the implications and considerations associated with joint custody arrangements.

In the article, Martin Mohr, a Manhattan child custody attorney, explains the difference between joint legal custody and joint physical custody. Joint legal custody means both parents share equal responsibilities in making decisions about childcare, schooling, religion, and other life decisions. Joint physical custody refers to a child spending equal or nearly equal time residing with both parents.

Mohr highlights the advantages of joint custody, which include both parents maintaining a role in the child's upbringing, the child enjoying a more stable environment, and the equal split of responsibilities, work, and expenses of child care. "When it works out well, a joint custody arrangement provides a more stable, peaceful living environment for the child," says Manhattan child custody attorney Martin Mohr.

However, the article also delves into the disadvantages of joint custody. These include difficulties in scheduling and planning, increased arguments and conflicts between parents, and the child having to move between homes frequently. Mohr notes that "some children may have a hard time moving between two homes, since they may have to move personal possessions like school documents, sports gear, and other things each time they move between their parent's homes."

The article further discusses creating a parenting time plan, other custody options, how New York courts determine custody, and the impact of relocation on joint custody arrangements. As a Manhattan child custody attorney, Mohr emphasizes the importance of communication and cooperation between parents when sharing custody.

When considering relocation requests, Mohr explains that the court takes various factors into account, such as the reasons provided by each parent for or against the relocation, the impact of the move on the child's ability to maintain communication with the non-custodial parent, and the effect of the relocation on the child's overall well-being and quality of life.

"Maintaining a cooperative relationship with your co-parent is crucial when sharing custody," Mohr advises. "To increase the likelihood of obtaining court approval, it is advisable to inform the other parent about your intention to relocate with the child and work together to address visitation and new parenting time arrangements."
