How do custody labels impact the way we make decisions about childcare?

Custody labels, such as joint or sole custody, significantly influence decision-making about childcare by determining each parent's level of authority and involvement. In joint legal custody arrangements, both parents must collaborate and agree on childcare providers, while in sole custody scenarios, the parent with custody has the primary responsibility for making these decisions, although it may be beneficial to keep the other parent informed.
