Should 50/50 custody be the default?

What would you say were the reasons a parent doesn’t see much of their child after separation and divorce? Why do you think this happens?

Would you judge a parent who doesn’t see much of their kid?

Do you believe (abuse/neglect/deadbeat parents) aside that the default after divorce should be 50/50 custody? Should a child have a right to a relationship with both parents after separation?

interested to hear what everyone’s opinions are

I always see 50:50 as more for the parents than the child.

As an adult, how many of us would like to swap between homes each week? I wouldn’t, it would be awful.
