Equal Parenting presumption

Equal Parenting Presumption refers to the concept that, in cases of divorce or separation, both parents should have equal rights and responsibilities regarding the upbringing of their children. The idea is that children benefit from having both parents actively involved in their lives. Courts typically favor arrangements that allow for shared parenting time and decision-making unless there are concerns about safety or the children's well-being. This presumption aims to promote stability and a healthy relationship between children and both parents, recognizing the importance of each parent’s role in the child’s development.
