I’ve been re-reading some of the research about shared care and where, how and for whom it works. And where, how and for whom it doesn’t work.
The Social Policy Research Centre at the University of NSW did a report on Shared Care Parenting Arrangements since the 2006 Family Law Reforms. This was reported extensively when it was released in 2010, particularly the finding that both parents and children like shared care, and it’s good for children.
But, like most things, that’s not the whole story.
