     of Child Custody and lays the framework for an emerging field. To date
     there is no peer-reviewed journal dedicated specifically and only to is-
     sues related to child custody. Something has been missing in the field of
     child custody. The Journal ofChild Custody provides the missing piece in
     the puzzle called child custody. [Article copies available for a fee from The
