Joint custody is a court order whereby custody of a child is awarded to both parties. In joint custody both parents are "custodial parents" and neither parent is a non-custodial parents, or in other words the child has two custodial parents.
Not really the Judge will decide this matter for you.
A custodial parent has legal authority over a child. The custodial parent has the right to make any decision that affects the child such as school, medical treatment, daycare, religious training, sports, etc. A non custodial parent does not have the legal authority to make any decisions, choices or sign any legal documents that affect the child although generally, a visitation schedule can be ordered by the court and the custodial parent must obey that order. Joint Custody gives both parents equal authority to make decisions that affect the child and both must consent to any decisions regarding school, medical treatment, religious training, sports, etc. With joint custody one parent may be awarded physical custody and as such will be awarded child support.
