Child Custody Laws in the United States | Child Custody Laws | Child Joint Custody

The biggest advance in child custody laws in the United States occurred when all fifty states adopted the Uniform Child Custody Act (UCCA).  This act makes child custody laws more uniform from state to state, thus allowing states to recognize and enforce decisions from other states in case the family should move.  Without fewer conflicting laws in different parts of the US, child custody laws are much more effective.
