Those are major reasons for not having joint legal custody.   Avoid it - it might cost more in legal fees initially but in the long run trying to 'co parent' with someone who is not cooperative and violent is unlikely to work.     What happens when he gets annoyed at you?    He can take his anger out on you by not agreeing to any joint legal issue - medical, educational, religious, residence etc    You legally have to consult and agree on all those matters.      BTDT     I made the mistake of trying to make it work.   It still doesn't work - he swapped physical violence for abusing me legally and financially.  [/quote]

Thanks for posting PP.

We still haven't settled, but even the settlement process has been awful. Like, he agrees to something and the next day backs out.

Unfortunately, the state I'm in (VA) will not mandate certain things (college, activity fees, etc) so I've traded sole custody for those provisions. In that scenario, would you have still gone to litigation? Can you give more insight on how to make a tighter custody agreement?[/quote]

In our custody agreement we added a provision that child would attend school in the father's district - whatever that is. (Mom was very unstable) If you can work this in for you, it eliminates issues related to moving etc.[/quote]
