Shared Parenting Orders

EDM number 1175 in 2010-12, proposed by Brian Binley on 13/12/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Children and families.

That this House believes that children are entitled to the love, guidance and support of both parents and a relationship with their wider family after separation and divorce unless certain restrictions apply, to ensure children can enjoy the benefits this gives; further believes in the desirability of creating a legal presumption of shared parenting orders if necessary, meaning parents are equally responsible for their children and those children spend a significant proportion of their time with each parent; and calls on the Government to recognise this need for a presumption of shared parenting in the family justice review.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
