    Default When is Joint Physical Custody an Option

    I live in the state of Michigan.


    I was wondering if joint physical custody of children was an option in a divorce?

    yes, it is. If both parents can get along well enough for the childrens' sake, and live nearby each other, joint custody is usually the most desired outcome.

    I've heard of joint legal custody... but I was under the impression that one of the parents is given physical custody, not both.... and usually the one where the children will reside most of the time.
