This paper examines the issue of joint custody after separation/divorce. Joint custody was provided for by Article 1671 of the German Civil Code in 1997. I have investigated the actual situation of joint custody and its support in Germany. Visitation and the right of parents to information about the child are also considered in relation to joint custody. Finally, taking into account the results of the study, this paper goes on to consider what is needed to introducing joint custody to Japan.

In Japan, one of the parents exercises parental authority after divorce (§818Ⅲ, §819 Civil Code). But many of the western countries practice joint custody after divorce. Influenced by the western countries, some groups in Japan are initiating actions to realize joint custody. Recently, discussions on reforming legislation have increased. In this paper, I have selected Germany as a main object of comparison and analyzed precedents after reform in 1997. The purpose of this study is to observe from analyzing the case law of Germany the criteria to exercise joint custody. Especially, I have examined the following points: 1) suitability as a parent, 2) cooperation between parents, 3) tolerance of the relationship between the child and the other parent, 4) support towards the development of the child, 5) continuity of the living environment (status quo) of the child, and 6) the child’s will. I have dealt with points 1)-2) in this part.

In Japan, one of the parents exercises parental authority after divorce (§818III, §819 Civil Code). But many Western countries practice joint custody after divorce. Influenced by these countries, some groups in Japan are initiating actions to achieve joint custody. Recently, discussions on reforming legislation have increased. I have selected Germany as a main object of comparison and analyzed precedents after reform in 1997. The purpose of this study is to observe, by analyzing the case law of Germany, the criteria for exercising joint custody. I have dealt with the following points in this part : 3) tolerance of the relationship between the child and the other parent, 4) support towards the development of the child, 5) continuity of the living environment (status quo) of the child, and 6) the child's will. I have also examined "the change model", in which the child changes his/her abode between parents periodically. Finally, taking into account the results of the study, this paper goes on to consider what types of joint parenting are desirable and possible in Japan.
