Library cards for children of divorced parents

Hello. I am wondering what other libraries do in the case of issuing library cards to children of divorced parents, i.e. which parent the card goes under? We normally say that the parent who has custody gets the card, but what if the other parent comes in first and gets a card, and then the parent with custody comes in and tries to get a card for the child? Do you tell the parent with custody that the other parent beat them to it, or do you call the parent who got the card first and say you are taking away that card? This is happening more and more lately. What is best practice? I would obviously prefer to not get involved in personal matters. I appreciate any thoughts anyone has to offer on this.
