Abstract
This article discusses the way that the ideological endorsement of joint custody as being in the chil?s best interests has resulted in significant issues, especially those more likely to be raised by mothers, being marginalized or suppressed. Although more commentators and researchers are now taking issue with some of the problems inherent in joint custody arrangements, many New Zealand professionals working with separating families continue to view the arrangement very positively. As a consequence, there has been little evaluation of those family situations where joint custody is not in the chil?s best interests, especially those where there is ongoing hostility between parents.
