Early in this history, the guidelines were very clear: fathers had an absolute right to their children, and therefore custody decisions were easily made by those in authority. Later, mothers superseded fathers in the frequency of obtaining custody, and unless there were extenuating circumstances, mothers were awarded custody almost exclusively. In accordance with another clear guideline, prior to the advent of no-fault divorce, children were routinely placed with the "innocent" party. In this situation there was little reason to involve professionals outside the legal system; one need only determine which parent was at fault and then give custody to the other.
Although an exact definition of joint custody has eluded me and other writers as well (Benedek & Benedek, 1979; Clingempeel & Reppucci, 1982; Foster & Freed, 1980; Miller, 1979), the single most important element is that both parents have the legal responsibility and power to make important major decisions with respect to their child's education, religion, physical well-being, and general upbringing (Cox & Cease, 1978; Gaddis, 1978; Miller, 1979). The message that joint custody advocates are attempting to communicate is that parents divorce each other and not their children; consequently, both parents should be directly involved in their child's life and upbringing after divorce.
