Divorce: Most kids thrive better with this custody arrangement
Nobody heads down the wedding aisle thinking they?ll eventually need two roofs over their heads. But for close to 40 per cent of married Canadian couples, that?s how things net out.
When separation happens, the process of re-imagining family life?particularly the important work of continuing to raise kids together?is often heart wrenching. Most people are desperate to do right by their children.
The central question is always around physical custody of the children. Will one parent remain the primary caregiver most of the time, with the other parent averaging just a couple of days per week with the kids" Will the kids alternate weeks living with each of their parents, or go back and forth in some other sort of even split"
Equally allotted joint physical custody (JPC) is on the rise in most of the Western world, and researchers from Uppsala University in Sweden have concluded that this is a trend in the right direction. Their newly published study looked at 3,656 Swedish pre-school children aged three to five, living in a variety of household configurations. It concluded that those living in 50-50 physical custody arrangements showed fewer psychological symptoms than those who reside mostly with just one parent.
