    Default Joint Legal Custody

    I live in Florida.

    Can I file for joint legal custody without filing for any other type of custody?

    The reasoning behind it would be that since I would have to pay for anything the child would get himself into, I should have a say in what he can and cannot do...I guess to clarify that statement would be to say, if there are any legal issues with him, I would want to be notified and given the chance to make a joint decision instead of just getting notice later that something huge happened and I had no say in it.


    I hope that wasn't too confusing...

    Thanks for your detailed response and please leave out any personal comments as they aren't helpful

    Has your paternity already been legally established?

    Yes. However, I am going through an administrative proceeding through the DOR to establish child support, so there is no current order. Do I hae to wait for that first? Or can I go ahead and file for this?
