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.
