Shared parenting or equal parenting means when the children are brought up with the love of both parents even though they are separated.
The children should feel that they are being loved by both of the parents.
One parent should not dominate the other through the children.
The lives of the children should not be controlled by either of the parent.
The children should be able to spend their time equally with both of the parents. This may include homework, leisure time etc.
Weekend contact is necessary. This begins when the children are picked up from school on Friday and dropped on Monday.
Mid week contact is also necessary. This includes picking the children from school and if practical the child staying overnight. Special events like Christmas, birthdays and the siblings’ birthdays should be celebrated together.

The children should not be dropped to day care centers if one of the parent is available to look after them.
Children should be allowed to spend the time with the grandparents and wider families adequately. If one of the parent is not giving enough time to the children, he shall not be given any priority for the time when he/she is available.
