If married both do. If not married the mother has it until the father has been to court to establish paternity and filed for visitation or custody. If it's not the parents because the court have found them unfit, it can be a relative or someone else.

If you have joint custody can your teenager live with either parent?

The guidelines are basically the same in every state but obviously there are a few minor differences. Joint custody consists of Primary Custody & Secondary Custody. The parent with primary custody is who the child lives with & the other parent has secondary custody. Depending on the age of the child & the state in which they reside, the court may let them determine where they choose to live. Or if both parents agree on the child's decision then the child can live with either parent.
