What Is Shared Parenting ?

Shared parenting means having joint physical custody of the children after a divorce. The child gets to spend equal time with both the parents, and this time spent may be divided by the court. Under shared parenting, the children get to stay in either parent's house. The number of days may be split within a week or a month. However, shared parenting is approved in fewer states than you can imagine.

Right now some of the states that allow shared parenting are Alaska, Iowa, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Wisconsin. Shared parenting is declared otherwise if one of the parents or either of the parents is deemed unfit to bring up the children.

Sometimes, shared parenting also can refer to a situation where adoptive parents are involved. Such a thing will happen only when the parents are described as unfit to raise the children. The biological parents will be sharing their child's responsibility with other parents.

Shared parenting is also known as collaborative parenting or equal parenting. Several people feel that the regular shared parenting that gives equal rights to the parents and provides equal access of parents to the children is the best possible arrangement after divorce. This also fosters security, and a sense of family environment for children.

Shared parenting gives the mother and father of the child equal right to bring up the child. All decisions are made jointly, including health care and education. Even which school the child can go to is decided jointly. It is more or less like having a healthy business relationship where each other’s decisions are respected.
