Divorced-Parenting Term
Shared parenting
Shared parenting entails a collaborative relationship between divorced or separated parents so that both play an active role in the parenting of their children. Shared parenting, therefore, typically refers to a joint custody arrangement. The trend of the courts as well as society has been moving away from a sole custody arrangement toward children having a consistent relationship with both parents after divorce or separation. Another concept underlying shared parenting is the belief that both parents, not only should want to raise their children, but have an inherent parental responsibility to take an active role in the rearing of their children.
