Review and reform child custody arrangements

Petition Details

Change the default child custody contact arrangements to be 50/50 shared contact and living. We feel that the current system leads to disputes and can leave children without access to one parent.

Additional Information

We would like the law changed to reflect the following:
Shared care/ live to be the default position
No primary carer
Emergency Court Hearings for cessation of contact
Stricter penalties for parents violating court orders and proven false allegations to result in contact ceasing
Fund more contact centres
