My spouse and I seem to be fighting all the time. How will we agree about major decisions for the kids?

Joint custody has been a very popular option for a number of years, especially in the United States, but Canadian judges are very aware of this problem. In Canada, most judges will not order joint custody if one parent doesn't want it. If you and your spouse are disagreeing about most things, and communication and cooperation are difficult, then a judge is unlikely to order joint custody.
