Generally, statutes
authorize the court having jurisdiction of divorce proceedings to determine
who shall have child custody of children from the marriage. (The authority to
do so is considered part of the original jurisdiction of the court, and not
as a new authority being conferred upon them.) Under the common statutory
provision, the parents of a child born within a marriage are joint guardians
of that child and the rights of both parents are equal--each parent has an
equal right to the custody of the child when they separate. Like other aspects of family law, most law
in this field is state rather than Federal. |
