Best Answer

Any legally married couple has the same rights if they obtain a divorce. The issue of joint custody of the children would be decided by the court depending on certain factors that include the laws in the particular jurisdictions. Some favor automatic joint custody, others evaluate the relationship between the parties to try to determine if they can get along well enough to make joint custody work to the benefit of the children. You should consult with an attorney in your jurisdiction who can review your situation and explain your options.
