Court granted joint custody because the paramount consideration is the children's welfare and there was a reasonable prospect the parents could cooperate given their prior history of joint arrangements; social welfare recommendations did not preclude joint custody; to mitigate practical difficulties the court gave the mother final decision in any disputes unless the court orders otherwise; father ordered to pay one half of mother's costs due to his conduct prolonging litigation and withdrawing applications late.
