In other cases joint custody may be considered by the court. The court shall determine whether joint custody is in the best interest of the child by considering the following factors:

The factors enumerated in section 3.

Whether the parents will be able to cooperate and generally agree concerning important decisions affecting the welfare of the child.

If the parents agree on joint custody, the court shall award joint custody unless the court determines on the record, based upon clear and convincing evidence, that joint custody is not in the best interests of the child.

If the court awards joint custody, the court may include in its award a statement regarding when the child shall reside with each parent, or may provide that physical custody be shared by the parents in a manner to assure the child continuing contact with both parents.

An order of joint custody, in and of itself, shall not constitute grounds for modifying a support order.

That the child shall reside alternately for specific periods with each of the parents.

That the parents shall share decision-making authority as to the important decisions affecting the welfare of the child.
