Courts in most jurisdictions are going that way, simply because it's in the best interests of the child to maintain balanced contact with each parent. Too often, children are used as pawns in parental disagreements or as ammo (withholding visitation, etc.) and the courts are looking to joint custody as a means to possibly remedy, or at least cut down on those circumstances. Children from broken homes have it tough enough as it is without the adults in their lives making it even tougher.
Ultimately, the judge will make what he or she feels a decision that is in the best interests of the CHILD, not the adults involved. And the adults involved would be wise to understand and support that decision.
