I am doing a project for my sociology of the family class, and I need some feedback on the following questions. It's a college level course, so please be formal as much as possible. Any kind of response will be much appreciated. Thank you. (If you could kindly leave ur gender and ur age, that would help a lot, thank u once again).
6)Is joint-custody good for the child? (Joint custody is- a form of child custody that grants both parents joint legal custody, joint physical custody, or both joint legal custody and joint physical custody).
7)What is shared parenting?
8)Do you think child custody decisions affect children emotionally and psychologically? If so, how and under what circumstances?
9)What do you think is the best decision that a judge can make for child custody battles?
10) What happens when a child is alienated from either parent?

ok i am 20 years old and female.
Yes i do believe that joint custody is good for the child. This way the child gets to see bith parents.
Shared parenting is when both of the parents share the roll equally.
Yes i do think that they can affect the child emotionally and psychologically. Each child handles things differently but you may see a sudden change in their personality they may even go off their food and stuff.
The best decision that a judge could make would be for the child to spend as much time with BOTH the parents.
i am what happens when a child is allienated from one parent. My parents separated when i was just 2. They worked it out so that my dad would have me every second weekend... Well that didnt really happen all that often. So i went many years without a father and i hated it, everyone else had one but me! Then a couple of years ago we got back in touch. Since that day we have been sooo close that its not funny. I spend every spare minute at my dads place now. I just love to spend time with him, we have a lot of making up to do!!
Good Luck and i hope that i was a bit helpfull to you.

Aren't the really subjects the children who are concerned? I would be asking children these questions, with more simple words of course, and you could analyze the answers afterword.
Here are my answers anyway:

6. Yes in some cases, no in some others.
7. Shared parenting is when parents who get separated share the custody of their children.
8. Yes it does. Children will often take the blame for the separation. They do not want to have to chose between one parent or another: they want to be with both parents. And if they cannot chose, they shouldn't have to put up with the parents' or judge's decision. It's not realistic, but that's how it should be.
9. Depends on the situation. The parents should have to go through a psychological evaluation. If both are able to look after the children, then both should have custody.
10. Once again, children take the blame. The child may develop emotionally related problems, anxiety or even depression.

6. Yes
7. Shared parenting is similar to joint custody
8. Yes. The child experiences loss and detachment when parents separate and divorce - The child has no control and is forced into the situation in spite of how they feel or their preference
9. Shared custody / shared parenting ensuring all aspects for the safety and wellbeing of the child are taken care of: This has many advantages i.e. child gets nurturing from both parents; other parent gets time out
10. Psychological imbalance i.e. no mother or father figure; more stressed caregiving parent due to extra workload thus a more stressed environment for the child
