    Do what to you?

    But to your question: To file for joint custody you have to file an action in which custody of your daughter will be an issue and request joint custody (this might be a dissolution of marriage, legal separation, petition to establish parental relationship or a petition for custody and support of minor children). The court can issue temporary orders after you and your coparent attend mediation or enter a final judgment after a trial on the issue (and after mediation). If you agree with your co-parent on joint custody you may have a judgment entered without the need for a trial.
