Parents contemplating a divorce often have concerns about the welfare and upbringing of their minor children.  For some, the traditional child custody model where one parent has primary custody and the other has visitation rights provides a safer and stabler environment.

However, others may prefer a joint custody model where both parents share custody of their children and can stay equally involved in their lives. However, such arrangements present more logistical issues since the parents may have to shuttle the children more frequently between both homes.

Divorcing parents must also agree on how they will make decisions affecting their child's future. This includes healthcare decisions, where the child will attend school, as well as under what faith the child will be raised, if any.

As important as these decisions are, sometimes divorcing spouses find it difficult to come to agreement.
