Who Gets the Kids? Consulting with Parents about Child Custody Decisions.

Mullis, Fran; Otwell, Patricia S.

Professional School Counseling, v2 n2 p103-09 Dec 1998

Regardless of custody arrangements, what seems to matter for children is the quality of family functioning. Types of custody arrangements are defined, and the effects of joint custody on parents and children are discussed. Children's developmental needs are considered, and issues for parents and counselors to consider are explored. (EMK)
