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.
