X-spouse from Hell

I have been reading up on the new 2010 changes to family law in Australia. Apparently significant changes have been made there with respect to family law and child rights.

Specifically, what tickled my fancy was:

A Child Has the Right to Spend Substantial and Significant Time With Both Parents.
Equal shared parental responsibility.
A child has the right to a relationship with both parents.
The principle has changed the way fathers and non-custodial parents spend time with a child. Where circumstances allow and it is in a child’s best interests, weekly time is now split more evenly with children spending half the time, including school time with each parent.

This is very much in tune with my sentiments.

In Canada, 97% of child custodies are awarded to the female parent! Clear institutionalized discrimination. This alone probably accounts for most pay and poverty inequities.

Nice to see the Green Party (Green Vision 4.11.2) making some noises about protecting the rights of children and eliminating gender inequities.
