Issues to Consider:

If you do not believe that equal time or substantial & significant time will be either:

     In your children's best interest; or

     Reasonably practicable (this means that it will work 
     when put into 'day to day' practice);

How can we as parents, both have quality time with our children?


Is our concept of shared parenting realistic?
