If a childs parents separate, residence normally goes to the main carer - right?
But how is that decided in this day and age of equal parenting? Is is the parent who stays at home? The parent who works less hours? The parent who gets up with the child in the night?
How? Who can decide this?
What if the parents work the same number of hours, and share parenting completely? Do they get shared residence?
I just don't see how it works. AIBU?
