Equal Parenting should be mandated by law in divorce cases.

The children should be with both parents equally.

If this were the law, I wonder if women would be so quick to initiate divorce proceedings.

About “Equal Parenting”......it’s NOT always that easy.....I have a book to write about having tried it 25 + years ago with my ex for my son.....I even made sure he did not have to pay child support..... I should not have done it....he was not a very good father....although, thankfully, my son has turned out to be a pretty darned good one.

I disagree. 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. My sons father doesn’t want joint physical custody and to make it law that he has to have my son 50% of the time would rip my child to shreds. His dad puts him in day care on his time, is gone most of the time on business trips and left with his SM, and my son wants to just come home. ON my time he is home with his brother and a stay at home mother. If he had to go 50% of the time to his dads it would be worse for my child and he would be torn apart. Joint physical custody is not right for every divorced family.

I think you need to realize each case is different and should never be treated the same.
