Joint custody of children following a divorce is usually based on the premise that the child's best interest will be served by a continuing relationship with both parents. For divorced parents who are poor, however, joint custody of children may jeopardize eligibility for AFDC. A study of state policies and experiences in administering AFDC in such cases indicates that states evaluate each case individually to determine whether there is continued absence or deprivation of parental support. Beyond this, however, there is a great deal of variation among state procedures, further complicating the administration of AFDC
