Joint Custody Arrangements Found Improper
Joint parenting order that established a schedule whereby boys would move between parents twice each month was not in the children’s best interest. In re Swanson
The decision to order joint custody was not necessarily erroneous but the decision to have the children live with one parent one week and another the next week was error; no testimony concerning the workability of such a program was presented; the constant shifting would obviously be detrimental to the minor children, who were seven, five, and three years of age at the time of the decree, moreover, each home would have to make arrangements and undergo many of the same expenses that would arise if the children were there on a permanent basis.
