The Canadian Department of Justice offers an unbiased, research founded advocacy for shared custody, dispelling many myths that it's confusing or unhealthy.

That's interesting, considering that Rob Nicholson, Minister of Justice (MP Niagara) is on record as opposed to shared parenting. Not in the best interests of lawyers to eliminated the winner take all, adversarial family law system.

Because I was fairly impressed by the findings of this study, I want to embolden some key points.

There were no differences in adjustment of the 91 children in different custody arrangements assessed by Luepnitz (1986) in terms of self-concept, the parents' ratings of children's self-esteem, psychosomatic and behaviour problems, and the emotional climate in the family.

The majority of the research literature has found no relationship between the type of custody and child outcomes.

In Canada, almost one quarter (23 percent) of a sample of shared custody parents reported that the children were "upset" for a time following the change in residence (Irving et al., 1984). In Luepnitz's (1982) smaller (but also a self-selected) sample, however, shared custody did not seem to create distress or confusion for most children about their living arrangements; in fact, three quarters of the children said that they liked having two homes. Only three children (of an unstated but small number of about 20) were confused about following two sets of rules or conflicting parental expectations. No other research was located that directly addressed this question.

In reality there is no rhyme nor reason to child custody laws. Those in place are to placate various political forces and ensure there is no social disorder or wide spread outrage.
