Resumo
In both USA and Sweden joint custody has been a question under heavy debate during the 1970's. In USA joint custody has been looked upon as a possibility for children of divorcing and divorced parents while in Sweden the issue was brought under debate as an issue for couples not being married but cohabiting together under marriage-like conditions having minor children together. In many of the states in USA there are possibilities for a joint custody after a divorce—in fact in e.g. California joint custody is preferred by the legal system. In Sweden all parents independent of marital status, independent of cohabiting or separated, have the right (if they both agree) to have a joint custody of their children. Despite the legal system being positive to joint custody it is not a very popular phenomenon in Sweden. Why so is the case is discussed in the article.
