Legislative consolidation of joint parenting after divorce should become a great historical event.
We are at the beginning of the road.
We need to return the right of children to both parents, grandparents to grandchildren, save the Russian people from extinction, and mothers from having to "pull for two."
"The bill proposes to enshrine in Russian family law the procedure for joint upbringing of children by parents," the explanatory note says.
To do this, it is proposed to amend the Family Code, according to which the court, in each specific divorce, will decide whether it is necessary to appoint a joint upbringing procedure before determining which parent the child will stay with.
In the explanatory note, the authors note that the institution of joint upbringing operates in many countries, including South Africa, Brazil, India, China, Israel and the UAE. In their opinion, it will be effective primarily in cases where it is obvious to the court that the parents have a negative attitude towards each other and there is a high probability that one of them will have difficulties communicating with the child because of this.
The establishment of joint upbringing will allow children to maintain full-fledged relationships with both parents, the authors of the document emphasize. In this case, the child will not lose the feeling of a complete family and will maintain an emotional connection with both parents, the parliamentarians believe.
Another amendment supplements the Family Code with an article regulating cases when it is impossible to establish a procedure for joint upbringing.
