Since joint legal custody relates to communicating over certain areas of the child's life and has nothing to do with which evenings the child is where, I would say poor, since the two of you aren't talking now.

If you are talking about getting your rights of visitation enforced, then the chances are good. Talk to a family law attorney in your community when you return to clarify exactly what you are looking for.
