What is the effect of a joint custody order on a child where the parents share the same duties, rights and responsibilities?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Desmond v. Desmond, 2010 BCSC 680 (CanLII):
While a joint custody order does not require alternating periods of residence, the parents continue to share the same duties, rights and responsibilities toward a child except for the everyday parenting responsibilities which are inherent in the everyday physical care and control of a child: see Anson v. Anson (1987), 10 B.C.L.R. (2d) 357.
