The conversation behind the rules.
Editorial views on parenting, access to justice and the choices behind the rules. Clearly labelled as opinion, with sources and a considered counterargument.
A child is not a bargaining chip in a dispute over money
A missed payment does not turn a care arrangement into a negotiating tool. Taking children’s interests seriously means keeping the financial dispute with the adults.
OpinionShared parenting is not a contest to count equal nights
Equal standing for parents deserves protection. An exactly equal division of calendar days is not the right measure for every family.
OpinionMediation deserves trust and clear boundaries
The choice to find a joint solution must not become an obligation to sign an agreement under pressure.
OpinionUnderstandable legal help during separation is not a luxury
Anyone who does not understand an arrangement’s consequences will struggle to decide freely. Financial transparency belongs within access to justice.
OpinionA maintenance amount deserves an explanation both parents can follow
A result from calculation software becomes useful when the data and choices behind it are clear.
OpinionParenting after separation needs fewer slogans and better arrangements
Remaining parents together is a worthwhile principle. It helps when its everyday requirements and necessary boundaries are clear.
