More US states embrace 50-50 child custody in divorces

Original: More states embrace '50-50' child custody in divorce cases

A growing number of US states are moving toward presumptions of equal, or '50-50', child custody arrangements in divorce cases. Supporters argue shared parenting serves children's best interests and treats both parents fairly, while critics, including some family law advocates, warn a rigid formula may not suit every family and could complicate cases involving abuse or conflict.

Why now: Ongoing legislative debates over shared parenting laws are prompting attention to how divorce custody norms are shifting.
