I am a firm believer in Joint Custody regimes. Even if communication has broken down and there is al ot of animosity between the parents, a communication log book could be used to communicate issues regarding the children or child. The children or child will benefit from this as both parent's will be fully informed in all aspects and issues of the child.
Parallel Parenting Plans do work and I speak from experience. The secret is to make it work and put the differences aside and most of all be child centred.
Responsibilities can be divided up
One parent schooling
Other parent medical
One parent religion
Other parent extra curricular
etc
You could also have something like if you can't see eye to eye on a certain issue, mandatory mediation
