In the event of a divorce, several states have laws concerning the presumptive joint custody of any children involved. The District of Columbia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Florida, Louisiana, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, and Texas all have presumptive joint custody laws while many other states have laws preferential to joint custody when both parents agree to it.
Presumptive joint custody is not mandated by any specific state in the United States. Joint custody decisions are typically made on a case-by-case basis, taking into consideration the best interests of the child. However, some states, such as Arizona, California, and Nevada, have passed legislation that encourages joint custody arrangements and minimize preferential treatment for one parent over the other. Ultimately, joint custody decisions are up to the discretion of the court in each individual case.

Joint custody of a child can be decided by the parents whereby they share responsibilities for the child. Schedules can be worked out so the child spends time with both parents. Courts can also decide to award parents joint custody in the case of legal disputes and indeed some states have a preference for this in law.
WHY, were you denied joint custody? There must be some reason that a custodial parent would then be denied joint custody.
There is no such provision for 49 states. In some states, a mother is presumed to have sole custody if no father is named on the birth certificate, in other states, a mother is presumed to have initial custody under the same circumstances, other states presume joint custody even if no father is named (someone had to do it, right?) and some states have no presumption of custody at all. For the law in each state, you will have to do your own homework on that.
