I am getting ready to go through a divorce we have a 3 year daughter together whom I love dearly,is there a law that will permit me to have joint custody during the summer months and my wife have her the other months. If we both agree to it and have this into the divorce decree. I live in the state of Mississippi and our child was also born in M ississippi. My wife now live in Alaska she is in the Army but we married in Mississippi. Can this be written into the decree and the judge signed this.

The way I was told you can do this (by an attorney in Ohio) is if both of you agree on it. Most people go with the standard visitation schedule UNLESS you can agree on something different.

If that is the case, I don't see a problem. Would this be the only time of the year you would see your daughter?

The only problem I see a judge having is because she is so young he/she may want you to have some more visitation time during the rest of the year so it isn't such a big switch for her when the time comes to switch at the beginning of summer and again at the end. But if you both agree then something like this is much more likely.
