"Joint custody is subject to modification by either parent. The statute provides: ?Modification of a joint custody order shall require showing of changed circumstances and a showing that the modification is in the best interests of the child such as would support modification of a sole custody order. Inability or unwillingness to continue to cooperate shall constitute a change of circumstances sufficient to modify a joint custody order.? The parties must clearly demonstrate these requirements to the court. In a recent trial of mine where I represented the children, both parties asked for a modification from joint to sole custody. The court refused to grant the modification because neither party actually testified to any difficulty in making decisions jointly."
