Expert Evidence in Favour of Shared Parenting 2 of 12 Shared Parenting: Expert Evidence
Expert evidence in favour of shared parenting 2 of 12 Shared Parenting: Expert Evidence Majority View of Psychiatrists, Paediatricians and Psychologists The majority view of the psychiatric and paediatric profession is that mothers and fathers are equals as parents, and that a close relationship with both parents is necessary to maximise the child's chances for a healthy and parents productive life. J. Atkinson, Criteria for Deciding Child Custody in the Trial and Appellate Courts, Family Law Quarterly, Vol. XVIII, No. 1, American both Bar Association (Spring 1984). In a report that “summarizes and evaluates the major research concerning joint custody and its impact on children's welfare”, the American Psychological Association (APA) concluded that: “The research reviewed supports the conclusion that joint custody is parent is associated with certain favourable outcomes for children including father involvement, best interest of the child for adjustment outcomes, child support, reduced relitigation costs, and sometimes reduced parental conflict.” best The APA also noted that: the “The need for improved policy to reduce the present adversarial approach that has resulted in primarily sole maternal custody, limited father involvement and maladjustment of both children and parents is critical. Increased mediation, joint custody, and parent education are supported for this policy.” Report to the US Commission on Child and Family Welfare, American Psychological Association (June 14, 1995) The same American Psychological Association adopted -

Country Reports for Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man
Corporal punishment of children in the United Kingdom LAST UPDATED June 2020 Also available online at www.endcorporalpunishment.org Child population 13,715,000 (UNICEF, 2015) Summary of necessary legal reform to achieve full prohibition Corporal punishment is prohibited in all settings in Scotland and Wales. Prohibition is still to be achieved in the home, some alternative care settings, day care and penal institutions in England and Northern Ireland. Legal defences for the use of corporal punishment are found in section 58 of the Children Act 2004 in England and article 2 of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Northern Ireland) Order 2006. These provisions must be explicitly repealed and prohibition enacted of all corporal punishment and other cruel or degrading forms of punishment, in the home and all other settings where adults have authority over children. Alternative care settings – Corporal punishment is prohibited by law in residential care institutions and in foster care arranged by local authorities and by voluntary organisations. Prohibition should now be enacted in relation to private foster care. Day care – Corporal punishment is prohibited by law in day care institutions and childminding in England, Wales and Scotland. Legislation should be adopted prohibiting corporal punishment in institutions and childminding in Northern Ireland. Schools – Corporal punishment is prohibited in all state and private schools, but it has yet to be enacted in relation to some unregistered independent settings providing part-time education. Penal institutions – While corporal punishment is regarded as unlawful, the use of force (in the guise of physical restraint) is lawful in maintaining order and discipline in secure training centres. -

Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) FAQS for the Child Care Qualifying Reason and Return to School
Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) FAQS for the Child Care Qualifying Reason and Return to School H.R. 6201, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFRCA), went into effect April 1, 2020 and will apply through December 31, 2020. In addition to other applicable leave available to state employees, H.R. 6201 provides eligible employees who are unable to work or telework due to certain qualifying reasons related to COVID-19 with a period of paid leave. Division E of the FFCRA, the “Emergency Paid Sick Leave Act” (EPSLA) entitles employees to take up to two weeks of paid sick leave for certain qualifying reasons. Also, Division C of the FFCRA, the “Emergency Family and Medical Leave Expansion Act” (EFMLA) permits eligible employees to take up to twelve weeks of expanded Family and Medical Leave for certain qualifying reasons. The law provides that employers who are health care providers or emergency responders may elect to exclude their employees from these provisions. Also, employers can exclude employees who are health care providers or emergency responders from these provisions even if the employer has not excluded its entire agency from the provisions. The qualifying childcare reason is when a person unable to work or telework because they are caring for their child whose school or place of care is closed (or childcare provider is unavailable) due to COVID-19 related reasons. 1. If an employee is home with their child because their school or place of care is closed, or childcare provider is unavailable, are they entitled to paid sick leave, expanded family and medical leave, or both—how do they interact? An employee may be eligible for both types of leave, but only for a total of twelve weeks of paid leave. -

Custody and Visitation for the Military Practitioner
CUSTODY AND VISITATION FOR THE MILITARY PRACTITIONER COL MARK E. SULLIVAN, USAR, RET. I. VISITATION DRAFTING: What Can We Do? Two Problem Clauses-- A. "Reasonable visitation" [vs. specified visitation provisions -- times, dates spelled out explicitly in the agreement or order] 1. Who decides what is reasonable? 2. If mom is in Charlottesville and dad is at Ft. Bragg, is it reasonable for him to drive up to get the child Friday night at 7 p.m. [a 4-hour drive that means they get back on base at 11 p.m.] and return the child Sunday night at 7? Is it unreasonable? B. "Visitation by mutual consent" 1. What if mom disagrees with Wednesday night supper with dad? What if she disagrees with dad's having the children on the 4th of July? 2. What if there is no mutual consent because one parent is being unreasonable? Can you solve the problem by adding a clause stating that neither parent shall be unreasonable in requesting or withholding visitation? Will it work with these parents? C. Accommodating predictability and flexibility 1. The need to know when visitation will occur to avoid disappointing child or unnecessarily disrupting mom's schedule 2. But also need to leave room for changes in visitation due to child's schedule [a sleep-over with a friend, a trip to the mountains or the beach on dad's weekend], mom's schedule or dad's schedule [as when he has a trip on his visitation weekend] D.

FFCRA and Paid Leave to Care for a Child
Fact Sheet October 2020 | Job Quality Team FFCRA and Paid Leave to Care for a Child Across the country, schools and child care providers remain closed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Parents are struggling to work, maintain their families’ economic security, and care for children who would normally be in child care or attending school.i This burden is acutely felt by women, single parents, women of color, families of color—particularly Black, Latinx, and American Indian and Alaska Native families—families with low incomes, and workers with unpredictable schedules.ii Recognizing the pandemic’s effect on children and their families, Congress created a temporary right in the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) to paid leave to care for a child whose school is closed or child care provider is unavailable because of COVID-19.iii This was the first time Congress required federal paid leave for private sector workers—an important initial step in ensuring workers paid low wages have access to these benefits during the COVID-19 pandemic. Along with other guidance and FAQs, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) recently issued a Revised Rule, interpreting the FFCRA.iv This fact sheet provides information from DOL’s Revised Rule and sub-regulatory guidance on working parents’ rights to COVID-related paid sick days and paid family leave to care for a child whose school is closed or child care provider is unavailable.v As recognized by a federal district judge, many of DOL’s interpretations of the FFCRA continue to significantly undermine the law’s purpose of providing crucial paid sick days and paid family leave to employees who need to care for themselves and others. -
