Am I eligible for derived citizenship with the following conditions in 1987:

1) I was a green card holder before 18
2) My biological father naturalized before I turned 18
3) After my father divorced my Legal Resident mother they both had joint and legal custody
4) I was unmarried before turning 18

Does the law which was in effect in 1987 recognize citizen eligibility for a child who was in JOINT and legal custody of the Naturalized parent?
Please provide law if applicable in 1987.
 
Thanks I have that chart as well. People can use the former law in effect at the time they turned 18. In my case that was 1987. And in 1987, i dont know how they view a citizen having joint custody.... I am wondering if proving i resided with the citizen parent eventhough physical was appointed to non citizen parent would be good enough to prove derivity of citizen through my father...
 
Yes, it is my understanding that the law in effect that that time is the one that you use ( hence the one I quoted ).
The way that it reads to me, the law seems to say that a citizen parent with joint custody still requires the mother to be a US Citizen as well (or deceased) for the child to derive citizenship.
