Joint legal custody refers to a custody arrangement in which both parents have equal responsibility and authority in making decisions regarding their child's medical care and education. This means that both parents must work together and communicate effectively to make decisions that are in the best interests of their child. Joint legal custody does not refer to physical custody or where the child lives.
