Shared Parenting

Recommendations based on a Harvard Case Analysis of the Danish Family Court System from a Leadership Perspective by MBA, Jesper Lohse. 

There are 3 basic principles and 10 rules that can be used by any nation for international shared parenting law. This towards gender equality and the UN Global Goals in the best interest of the child and society.

The 3 basic principles:

Step A: All children and parents are equal in all family forms as the basic assumption.

Step B: Parents have a free choice to make their own arrangements.

Step C: A family court with children experts can make decisions in case of concern by parents or authorities in the best interest of the child 

The 10 rules for a new family law:

§1 All children have a life-long right to know and be cared for by their parents.

§2 All parents have the right to the same public information about the child.

§3 All children have the right to 3 months parental leave with each parent.

§4 All parents have shared custody.

§5 All children that are not living together with both parents have living address at both parents and equal parenting time.

§6 All parents share the income and cost of the child unless there is not equal or almosty equal parenting time. Then one parent is financially responsible alone based on a standard child allowance from the other parent.

§7 If a parent moves more than 80 kilometers away from the child's place of residence, the other parent as the basic assumption has the living address of the child and the parent that moves away is responsible for transportation of the child.

§8 The parents can make another agreement on parenting time and child finances if agreed.

§9 If there is concern for the child by a parent or authority, the case is handled by a family court with children experts and a certified contact person is appointed for the child.

§10 The family court can make decisions based on equality, documentation and the best interests of the child. All allegations of criminal offenses are handled by the police. Gender or any type of discrimination related to children is regarded as psychological violence.

Let us start today with creating the family law of tomorrow in the best interest of the child and society.
