Whether you have sole or joint custody doesn’t play a role in determining visitation schedules, and there generally may be no difference at all. “Joint” custody has more to do with your “parenting agreement,” which delineates certain responsibilities for each parent in making decisions in the major areas of a child’s life. These include health, education, and religion. “Sole” custody can provide for as much visitation as joint custody, depending on what parents work out for the best interests of the child.
