Abstract
Joint custody of children is the most prevalent court ordered arrangement for families of divorce. The goal of joint custody is to provide children the benefit of both parents' involvement and influence in their lives. To achieve this goal, judges require parents to engage in shared parenting, where joint decision-making and co-operation are necessary. A growing body of literature indicates that many parents engage in behaviors that are incompatible with shared parenting. The present article provides specific criteria for a definition of Shared Parenting Dysfunction. Clinical aspects of the phenomenon are reviewed and directions for research are delineated.
