“Joint custody” means that both parents are responsible for the care of the child and have the authority to make decisions concerning the child, such as health care, education, and religious upbringing. The term is also used when both parents share physical custody of the child. “Sole custody” means that one parent has the authority to make decisions concerning the child.
