New York (which lags behind the rest of USA in terms of shared parenting) is soon to consider a family law bill to bring it up to date with other USA jurisdictions.It takes the common-sense approach that fit parents would have joint custody (shared residence in UK parlence) of their children. The Bill hopes to "reduce post-divorce conflict" and make joint custody the norm rather than the exception.
