so what if the father is unpredicatable or a danger to the kids, should we still allow shared care..??

What about the cheap childcare in scandinavian countries isn't it appox £300 pm for a full time childcare place..doesn't that make it easier to provide for children than over here..

Surely it should go without saying, that if that is the case, then he should not be allowed anywhere near the kids, never mind shared care!!

unfortunately, as some of us know, there are parents of both sexes who aren't necessarily violent but are abusive to the children verbally and who put them in difficult situations between their parents which is incredibly damaging but something the courts generally fail to acknowledge.

and of course, there is the issue of shared care being used as a tool by which one parent exercises incredible control over the other and does so with the blessing of the courts. This is also damaging to children.

Are there any statistics on shared care in the UK anywhere? It would make interesting reading if anyone could find some...
