Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(1) by each parent independently;
(2) by the joint agreement of the parents; and
(3) exclusively by one parent.
