Hi Halls, re your:"Equal parenting 50/50 custody only works when that is what both parents want, they get along, and it works for the child. Making it law for all is rediculous if the parents don’t want 50/50."

Whatever they might negotiate as their preferred arrangement, it's important that the equal parental rights of both Father and Mother be explicit in law, and not subject to the whims and biases of public employees in robes.

If a Father agrees temporarily to less than 50/50 child custody, it should be with the clear understanding that his RIGHT to equal custody would be upheld by our legal system if his wishes were otherwise. Otherwise parents and their lawyers negotiate in a context of unfair coercion.

Justice is Conservative.

I still think making 50/50 physical custody law is wrong! Each case needs to be decided on what is best for the child. My sons father didn’t come into his life legally till he 4 years old. You think the standard would have been to take a 4 year old who hardly ever saw his father and make him go stay at his dads 50% of the time? Sorry, I disagree and again I will say each case needs to be handled differently and not ruled the same or the result could be disastrous for the child.
