Shared Parenting: Ten Myths!
Dr. Linda Nielsen Article(Shared Parenting)
What is the best parenting plan for most children of divorce?
Should infants and toddlers spend overnight time with their
nonresidential parent? If not, why not? If so, how much time?
Is shared residential custody better for children than living with
one parent and varying amounts of time living with their other
parent – mainly on weekends? Isn’t shared residential custody
only successful for a small group of well educated, higher income
parents who have very cooperative, conflict free relationships –
and who mutually agree to share without mediation, litigation
or lawyers’ negotiations? Since most married mothers do 80%
of the childcare, after a divorce shouldn’t the children live that
same proportion of time with her?
