Italy

[edit]

Quite a chunk of this is written in reference to Italian law; it seems that the article was sporked from it:wikipedia and so needs balancing out. I will take a swipe at it soon, but if anyone else wants to jump in please do pablo 10:08, 1 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Claims of gender discrimination and "parental alienation syndrome"

[edit]

The section "Post Separation Parenting" contains uncited claims of gender discrimination. It also contains uncited references to Parental Alienation Syndrome. While some parents and children are undoubtedly alienated, there is no such "syndrome" with which someone can be diagnosed. These claims are typical of anti-feminist men's groups; the article should be carefully reviewed for NPOV. I have tagged where appropriate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.192.82.71 (talk) 05:13, 7 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Intro

[edit]

I have a nitpicky issue with the intro. Specifically, this sentence: "In the United States the term coparenting is often used to describe the relationship between two separated or divorced parents attempting to parent their shared children." The word 'attempting' makes it sound like it doesn't really work, or at least not work often. That's just my opinion on word choice, though, and not backed by any research as to whether it actually does work.

”ET AL,

Co-parenting absolutely has its place and is in the best interest of the minor child if based on the correct circumstances. While not a matter of favoritism, at times one parent is deemed to 'be fit' to have "custody" of a minor child. Matters of education, health and well-being must preside and should not be a matter for debate with the parent who has lost custody. Yes, the parent who has custody has specific duties with timelines to fulfill on behalf of the other parent.

If the court order is succinctly written it shall contain a clause that identifies when consensus on a subject as mentioned above (i.e.: Schooling) is not in agreement between the parents of the minor child, then deference of final authority is extended upon by the parent who has custody.

However, where it becomes murky is from a practical point of view. From experience the term Co-Parenting is often interpreted by the parent who does not have custody as a 'sword' to input their control on matters as simple as Pizza toppings and Movies. No doubt this causes strife for the child who is to be the benefactor of the harmonious engagement of Co-Parenting, but these daily types of decay stymie the pure intent of the term 'Co-Parenting'.

In practice, unbeknown to the statues, is even with regard to the best interest of the minor child, a moral parent who has custody must cast aside any rancor or acrimony and do His/Her best to move the 'needle to the middle'. This first stage is so the minor child can again begin to feel a sense of balance and can feel confident that they have two loving parents.

In practice, however, as the parent with custody attempts to place the best interest of the minor child first, a ‘natural momentum’ occurs where the minor child feels a more robust inclusion of the parent without custody. As the 'pendulum swings' it can knock down the pins of stability, especially on daily matters, thus innocently creating and 'Open Door' to the other parent that under the concept of Co-Parenting believes a Pizza topping is debatable.

While there is no prescription that can be defined as the 'perfect solution' Co-Parenting can and does in fact, invite the 'Perfect Storm' and the minor child can often become shipwrecked.

In conclusion, while the icing on the cake may appeal to all, a strong stomach may be needed for the filling. Hence, each set of parents who attempt earnestly to Co-Parent must first set up rules and boundaries prior to its practical institution at the daily level.

A practical approach to these 'rules and boundaries' should be in written form signed by both parents as a binding agreement. This addresses the minutia of daily life. If terms are non-agreeable, the demonstration of responsible parenthood should be presented to a court of competent jurisdiction (or case management) who can help to clarify the daily details, which are the downfall of the intent of Co-Parenting. This occurs especially with a lack of Judicial clarity in the decree of custody to a sole parent. Or, in the alternative, this solution is applicable in its intent but not form; for all matter where a family has become fractured and a minor child's stability is at risk.” — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:588:8100:3A3B:CDFB:811E:AC77:B3D1 (talk) 04:46, 24 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
