Shared parenting; Make abandonment and parent alienation a criminal offence.
Many parents are left on their own to bring up children when the other abandons the children and others want a meaningful relationship but are denied because of another parent. Making shared co-parenting the normal legal requirement on seperation would benefit children (unless of 'PROVEN' abuse)
• Children with non-resident fathers highly involved in their lives have lower levels of delinquent behaviour as adolescents. (Coley & Medieros, 2007)
• “Children in separated families fare best when they have close contact with each of their parents and all the important adults in their lives, including grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and family friends. And co-parenting by both mother and father should be the norm, except when issues of safety are involved.” (Layard & Dunn, 2009)
